It should be emotional. Thousands of kidss lives a ruined every week in this country by drugs. It's damned emotional with me. Drugs are sold in my kids' schools, and they are enticed periodically to try them. - And again, on the constitutionality, when the federal government gives money to states, it may attach strings. I don't like that. I don't like getting at states that way. My state is weak, weak, weak in accepting such. The way to battle it is to get your state reps to stop doing so.

Then you have no problem with the liberal's tactics of reducing everything to an emotional level, and ignoring any constitutional restraints on the federal government as long as we "feel good about it"?

Let's see. I've stated several times on this thread that I'm opposed to having this done from a federal level. But I don't believe it's unconstitutional when strings are attached to money given to states. (I wish it were, but it's not.) Both liberals and conservatives appeal all the time to emotions (all successful politicians do this). And, I don't want kids doing drugs driving around my town.
