[JmyBryan]

Way too much sense here. Let's put Buckley in the stockade for conjuring demons.

[headsonpikes]

So Soros-financed William F.(Freakin' high, man!) Buckley and his Liberdopian accomplices think they can bring reason and justice to this debate, eh?!


HAH! Fat chance!

Not while there is this much money at stake.

The criminal drug lords and their bought-and-paid-for accomplices in the government will see to that.

So put that in your bong and smoke it, you communistic liberaltarian pothead!

(wiping spittle from chin and cheeks)

This "William F. Buckley" guy is a young left-wing anarchist pothead, right?

I guess he is now!

Definitely a fringe character. No respectable Republican would get caught dead near him... and certainly wouldn't get caught dead waiting in line for an hour to get an autograph.

[E Rocc]

What do you expect from baked lefties who've never worked a day in their life and are only interested in one issue?

[Egregious Philbin]

Definitely a fringe character.

Isn't "fringe" what the F stand for? Or maybe it stands for "freeloader."

"Definitely a fringe character. No respectable Republican would get caught dead near him... and certainly wouldn't get caught dead waiting in line for an hour to get an autograph."

Or be a 20 year subscriber to his magazine! :o)

Buckley has had this position on marijuana law reform for at least 30 years.

[KarlInOhio]

Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Nope, not being nailed for not paying taxes on his weed.

Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Nope, not being sent between states or countries. And it didn't look like there was a line of Indians buying the demon weed.

Clause 10: To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

Nope not that either.

Clause 14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

No, it wasn't a military matter

Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, byCession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And

No it wasn't on federal property.

Amendment XVIII*
Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Well, it's not an intoxicating liquour, and anyway we have:

Amendment XXI
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any state, territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.

On the other hand we have:

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

I guess I just can't find any authority for that law. No wonder they never call me to be on a federal jury.

I think this thread may have set the FR record for the most sarcastic posts in a row from the beginning of the thread :-)

[headsonpikes]

From your tagline...'loserdopia'.

I knew I'd forgotten one.

'Fifth Columnist', indeed Mr. VacantBombast.

[wardaddy]

Buckley takes money from that commie bastard Soros?

Say it ain't so?

[biblewonk]

Legalize weed and dethrone MADD.

To his credit. I know, but I couldn't help making a tongue-in-cheek comment for the predictable WOD comments that will most likely pop up on the thread.

[tahiti]

Excellent analysis. I would like to add one more point.

Amendment IX:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE others retained by the people."

Contrary to the member of this forum named "headonspikes," the "people" have the "retained" right to consume the chemical of their choice. Period.

[corkoman]

Off with thier heads!!

'thought I would weigh in here for the WODwarriors.
