The dope growers are (*)(*)(*)(*)ting their pants...Sessions!

The dope growers have been thumbing their nose at the gov and violating fed law with their dope growing biz. Will Sessions Confiscate the biz, $, fines, the bank that deal in drug $ and jail. Maybe lots of $ to build the wall around CA and to export illegals. They could also use the booty to help fund a patriot militia to clean up CA with cooperation from ICE. I'm sure the militia would volunteer, but it would be nice to help them with expenses.

Isn't it wonderful when the gov does it job! And it took Trump to do it!!

 

That'd be great. We could go back to jailing people and enforce a ban on a plant for no real reason. Certainly a better idea than legislation and taxation. Better to be destructive and punitive than constructive.

 

If Sessions starts wars with several states like California, Washington, Oregon and Colorado, I would guess that there will be a proposition on the 2018 ballot regarding getting the over reaching Federal Government out of the state's bussiness regarding the growing, smoking and selling of marijuana. About 60% of the American public is in favor of decriminalization. I don't think that even a dick head like Sessions will go there, but I could be wrong.

There is a lot of money to be made by locking people up for decades for nothing...

 

Unfortunately true. There is a reason the DEA refused to deprioritise marijuana and it's not because it's dangerous. Hell civil forfeiture alone is enough for law enforcement and government to want to keep it illegal. Easy busts, easy money. Privatization of essential government services is where is separate from libertarians. Some things cannot have a profit motive or they will create abuse.

 

I support nullification and states rights. The Feds would have a right to send in Federal agents to enforce the law (if they had any constitutional authority to regulate drugs), but in either case they have no authority to force state police to enforce their law.

I supported Trump over Clinton but it's quickly turning to progressive (*)(*)(*)(*).

 

Republicans have never been about liberty or State's rights except when it suits them. They are all about authoritarianism and nothing else; not freedom or liberty, or States Rights, or the Constitution. All they care about is making everyone live as THEY see fit.

And we saw how evangelicals turned on their own principles in a heartbeat, to support Trump. They are total hypocrites. They just want to enforce Biblical Law.

The Second Amendment seems to be all that matters to them when it comes to matters of Constitutional protections. They just want to be able to kill people if needed.

 

If Trump ran as a right-wing extremist version of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio would be President today. Instead, Trump ran as a paux-populist that he had no intention of ever living up to.

 

This is the case with both parties. You think the Democrats are a proper progressive party? NDAA, warrantless wiretapping and all? Bombing little brown kids half the way across the world to further US hegemony?

It is a reality of the democratic system that the parties will never live up to their ideals.

That said, the strain of political history which the Republicans now represent (which the Democrats represented, then the Democratic-Republicans, then the anti-rats, then the secessionists) indeed is very supportive of decentralized power. Much more so than their opponents.

Unfortunately that has turned to (*)(*)(*)(*) since 1912 and now they're in this limbo land where they view a strong national government as both necessary and evil. Go figure.

That's, like, politics... man.

On the contrary they seem to be realigning to defend the 1st against the left. Neither side really gives a flying (*)(*)(*)(*) about anything but the 1st, 2nd and occasionally 4th. The age of the constitution actually being any sort of "law" set in stone is gone. Long gone. Like, Marbury v Madison gone. These days it's all the rage to amend via judicial reinterpretation.

Makes any sort of enthusiasm for whatever the bench's current whim is pretty mute.
