Politics Sessions to end legal marijuana policy from Obama era

Explain it to me.

 

The federal MJ laws are on the books.

The President is charged in the Constitution with enforcing the laws. Obama did not do his job, but that does not mean Trump must followl along.

Congress has the power to change the laws, not the President or the administration.

So Congress including the democrats must change the law if they do not want it enforced.

This may involve compromise on other issues to get the law changed by a majority of Congress, but such is life on the hill.

 

I don't think people are arguing that sessions doesn't have the right, they are saying this move is detrimental to society. And due to the corruption of our representatives, they don't do what is in the best interest of their constituents if they can raise more money voting the other way. Sessions is within his rights. But perhaps those rights need to be changed. Or we need a better "sessions:" Or we need better representatives. Or we need to get money out of politics so our representatives will find it most prudent to vote according to the will of their constituents instead of their campaign coffers.

 

It does not seem to be a pressing issue at the moment. But if you wish, I can go along with jailing Jackson for his glory seeking.

 

I don't see it as a right. I see it as an obligation until the law is changed and an opportunity to use it in trade on other issues congress currently must or should address.

 

There are all sorts of laws that are overlooked. Take "blue" laws for example, laws that were enacted to make sure people attend church. In Winona Lake, Wisconsin if you eat ice cream on a sunday you commit a crime. That's just one of hundreds.

If you are driving 61 mph in a 60 mph zone I guess you should get a ticket? There are laws on the books that would make it illegal for my fiancee to orally pleasure me in some states. Picking and choosing is done all the time.

 

various sex acts are still illegal on the books...lawmakers look the other way when it comes to oral sex though...what we don't need is to lock people up and clog the courts with these things period..I don't care what they say...it doesn't work...didn't before and won't now...people didn't stop drinking during prohibition...not even elected officials..

 

You do know, the President is not charged with enforcing state or local laws. Federal Law only is my take of Article II, Section 3.

 

Well I'm fearful of the law so I only kiss my fiancee and on Sundays I only touch her hand shyly. Don't want to end up getting shoved in jail cause I couldn't keep my hormones in check..... ahahahahhahhahaahhahahhahaha

 

I know, but you pick and choose.

 

No, I don't think I did.

theres som federal ones for you

 

Silly stuff, I must admit. It might be real difficult to enforce this one;

"49 U.S.C. §46316(a) & 14 C.F.R. §105.7(a) make it a federal crime to skydive while drunk."

What is drunk?

 

There's no name for that word in Ireland..unless it's, nodding out before sleep

 

If you say so barf. I don't know this though.

 

The sky diving police are pretty high up there...chances are they haven't caught you yet

 

I was against them all until the Onion Rings. As a child I preferred the fake ones. Now, they're garbage to me.
