Not a dodge. I don’t write the Laws no matter how obscure.
If you think the Job of the AG of the United States of America is to pick and choose what Laws to enforce, just say so.
I thought that was what everyone here was riled up about for the past eight years with Holder, Lynch and Obama.
Please don’t think that I disagree that many of the Laws in pace are idiotic at best, but I’m sure there are thousands that don’t pass the smell test of Common Sense like the one you cited.
The point is, there are 10 gazillion laws and regulations on the books and they all can't possibly be enforced. So yes, AGs pick and choose which to enforce. Always have. I gave you one example.
In the case of pot, it is clearly a Tenth Amendment issue for the states, and Trump promised to respect that.
‘Prosecutorial discretion’ is a legal concept, and is a fundamental principle of our legal system, for a lot of different reasons.
I guess you thought wrong.
