Perhaps someone could acquaint the "attorney" with the 10th Amendment.
Unless there is some interstate commerce involved, anything produced and consumed in Colorado is...Colorado's problem.
That may upset people...like the horse people....but it's the Constitution.
PS: Might just be me, but I'll bet if you were to go to the Horsey Farm, you'd find more then a few employees who are currently in violation of real Federal laws, like being in the country illegally, working illegally, etc....
Glass houses and all that.
The problem is that the Supreme Court has expanded the federal government's "interstate commerce" power to include anything with even the most tangential effect on interstate commerce. Once you decide that growing food at home for your own consumption affects interstate commerce then every human activity affects interstate commerce.
I would love to see some conservatives and libertarians in Congress use the marijuana issue to push through a 10th Amendment restoration act. No federal law based on interstate commerce should apply unless it involves actual interstate commerce.
If you grow, buy or sell marijuana across state lines, then you are subject to federal marijuana laws. If you grow, buy and sell marijuana entirely within one state, then it should be entirely up to that state whether or not to prohibit or regulate it.
Similarly, if an endangered species is migratory or located in multiple states, then killing it is subject to federal laws. If a salamander or bug is located in only one state, then whether it lives or dies has no affect whatsoever on interstate commerce and should be subject only to state laws.
If you want to pollute, dam or divert water from a river that flows through more than one state, then it affects interstate commerce. If you want to drain a pond or swamp on your own property, the federal government should have absolutely no say in the matter.
The list is endless.
