And now we've had and are having votes on pot.

You equate the mostly Democrat kooks in Colorado (and the recent California kook immigrants) to the 3/4s of the states which ratified the 21rst amendment?

What we are seeing here is closer to a secession vote than it is to a constitutional amendment. A State law may not override a Federal law. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Don't forget red state Alaska.

A State law may not override a Federal law.

And a valid federal law must not exceed Constitutional bounds on federal authority - which authority does not extend to intrastate growing, selling, buying, or using of pot.

Unless said state law prohibits gay marriage, right? Then it’s just peachy.
