“Marijuana, illegal immigration, Hillary’s emails - the law should apply equally to all, right?”

Two of those three are legitimately based on the Constitution and don’t violate the Tenth Amendment. MJ prohibition at the federal level is based on the fraudulent Commerce Clause.

Should we support fedgov usurpation of state powers?

It is not about marijuana as I said.... it is about the rule of law.

By the way, the interstate commerce powers clearly made Fedgov the referee and arbitrator between states. Therefore, when WA marijuana is illegally exported from WA to a state whose voters DO NOT want legal marijuana such as Tennessee the job of Fedgov is to act to protect Tennessee - especially when the federal code says marijuana is illegal.

Don’t like it - get congress to change the laws. Again, as I said before, the executive branch should not usurp the authority of the legislative branch. If a law is wrong it should be changed, but the job of the executive branch is to enforce ALL laws on the books. If not, and the executive branch can selectively enforce any law we are no longer a republic. We are a dictatorship.
