Do you support the right of citizens of Illinois to make their own state laws? Or should we take a national poll to decide how the citizens of Illinois should run their lives in their state?

And here I thought you were for states rights. Boy, that went away real quick.

"Do you support the right of citizens of Illinois to make their own state laws? Or should we take a national poll to decide how the citizens of Illinois should run their lives in their state?"

Are you actually asserting on behalf of the people of Illinois that they voted to cart off to jail their own elementary aged children for possessing a bag of sugar at school?

I find it incredible that the citizens of Illinois would endorse such nonsense.

Sure the law exists. But not as if there were a referendum on it for the citizens of Illinois to vote for or against. Besides, the intent of the Illinois legislator was to snare street dealers who were selling even more harmful and dangerous impure drugs, and/or reaping more profits from the sale of fake look alike drugs. The intent of the law was never to snare a 12 year old child at school horsing around with a bag of sugar...

Reasonable LEO and school adminstrators should be able to figure this out all on their own. I guess not.
