"We should insist that our government Follow THE LAW."

Super. That means that from 1919 to 1933 you would have been an ardent prohibition supporter.

Guess that liberty is a cheap one that comes and goes so easily. Maybe there really are issues more worthy of attention--in the real, adult world, that is. Hope you join us some day.

"Super. That means that from 1919 to 1933 you would have been an ardent prohibition supporter."

Yes, I would have encouraged people to follow the law, while simultaneously encouraging a repeal of Prohibition. (In fact, I would have vociferously opposed passing the Prohibition amendment.)

"Guess that liberty is a cheap one that comes and goes so easily."

BS. A situation where liberty goes much easier is when Congress passes laws (like present federal laws against medical marijuana) WITHOUT the required Constitutional amendment. At least with Prohibition, 2/3rds of Congress, and 3/4ths of the State legislatures, were required to come together to take away a liberty (the liberty to drink alcohol). Congress has taken away the liberty of sick people using medical marijuana with a simple majority vote.

And no doubt a significant minority, if not a majority, of people on this website...supposedly dedicated to a "Free Republic"...agree with such government tyranny. (Because it's "moral.")

"Maybe there really are issues more worthy of attention--in the real, adult world, that is. Hope you join us some day."

Yeah, right. The federal government violating the Consitution is not worth of "adult" attention. Maybe not for adult sheeple. For adults who are interested in freedom from government tyranny, it IS an issue worthy of attention.
