Perhaps I should have made a clear distinction between "The Law" and the Constitution. They clearly prefer the Law over the Constitution.

Yes, but MY point is that The Law IS the Constitution. (Not the #@$% that Republicans and Democrats dish out.) Article 6 of the Constitution very clearly states:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;...

It is simply NOT possible to say that one supports following The Law, unless one supports following the Constitution. And FEDERAL regulation of ANY drug violates the Constitution, under the 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

EVERY SINGLE federal "law" regarding any drug is NOT made "persuant to the Constitution"...and therefore every single federal law on any drug is illegitimate (illegal). That's why conservatives are NOT following The Law when the vote for/enforce federal laws or regulations on drugs; they are VIOLATING The Law.

You are aiming your fire at the wrong target. There's more than a few Wo(some)D warriors who don't see any problem with asset forfeiture, etc because the law authorizes it.

As I said, they revere the law while wiping with the Constitution.
