    Maybe he wanted a respectful honor guard waiting when the feds finally sprang Bubba and Shrill for their own misdeeds. At any rate the Dems sure do want felons having the right to vote, even if a state legislature controlling state voting laws may say otherwise.

    Laws are for little people. The gangsters look out for their own.

    Try reading the first word of the post you quoted. Is that too much to ask?

    Depending on state and year it's possible. In Michigan the successful push to kill pot laws began with the arrest of John Sinclair for selling two joints and getting judicially sodomized for it. The Ann Arbor Hash Bash now in its 50th year or so owes Sinclair for its thousands of sky-pilots attending that event.

    In Texas we had a case where someone made a tray of pot brownies . . . and the entire weight of the brownies were counted as pot for the purposes of charges. Doubt that's the first time that's happened, either.

    Imagine the worst and multiply it ten times! Quick! Under your bed! Down in your basement! Your gun safe!

    The future is unknown! Think the worst! Hope is useless!

    Vote Biden.

    Tough call. No lab test could prove the exact ratio of ingredients, just the levels of THC in respective bloodstreams. Even pumping someone's stomach immediately after ingesting would still see some absorbtion into the bloodstream and therefore no accurate measure of the stomach contents. THC content should determine the jury vote.

    I'd assume they could test the THC levels in the uneaten portion. I've made CBD brownies before, and it doesn't take much hemp flower for a tray of brownies. Seems insane to just assume that the entire try of brownies was 100% pot. There's really no way to position that that isn't drastic over-charging.

    Correction. The first Ann Arbor Hash Bash was in 1972, making it 48 and not 50 years old as stated.

    I ascribe to "guilt of possession in any amount," but ask how appellate courts handled issues like that.

    Take a guess. How many years do you think you'll be entertaining the fever swamp fantasy of actual, provable charges being brought against the Clinton's?

    But if the charge is based on the amount, they shouldn't base the charge on a knowingly false assumption. That would be the equivalent of guilty until proven innocent.

    Of the hundreds of thousands of people who protested what would you guess is the % of people who engaged in violent protests? Of those, how many do you think were actually right wing instigators?

    If you want to be honest about this you simply can not maintain that "Democrats are prone to violent protests." It's like saying Repubs are knuckle dragging red necks who like to parade around in camouflage garb while flashing their guns.

    What needs to be kept in mind is Generalissimo Trump has governed with only his constituency in mind, the minority. Made all the more grievous because he lost the popular vote by 3M. Any other prez would have sought to at least give some consideration to that fact. Not Trump.

    So........perhaps Dems should act like Repubs during the last 4 years. If power can be consolidated Dems should disregard Repubs entirely and refuse to compromise on anything...........just like Mitch and Big Fat Don.

    Quote me saying that. Or retract!

    Actually... never mind. The only reason why somebody would quote or retract would be to prove that they are a serious poster. You have already demonstrated many times in the past that being a serious poster is not something that interests you.

    Do you or do you not support the green new deal and Medicare for all?

    What the hell does any of that have to do with what you wrote?

    Quote or retract!

    Because the green new deal will, de facto, place most, if not all, of the energy sector in the hands of the government and Medicare for all will do the same for health care.

    Who says he is a lowlife? He is satisfying market demand, like any business person, and his product is much less harmful than other, legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. You JUSTIFIED TYRANNY by enunciating the principle that whatever the law says, it must be right. I proved you wrong. If you want to talk about lowlifes, how about lowlife TV evangelists who con thousands of people out of their savings? Should their right to vote be taken away, too, because they are lowlifes?
    No they aren't. They are perfectly valid. You are just butt-hurt because they prove your beliefs are false, evil, and despicable.
    When they are comparable, yes.

    If the jury had anyone on it who cared about reason, justice, or liberty, the vote would be determined by the equal individual rights of all to pursuit of happiness.

    You mean there's really no way to position that that isn't vicious, evil tyranny.

    In your fantasy world. You have produced no quote or retraction. Not wasting my time anymore.

    I think that is why we have different levels of crimes, hence the "felony" level. That's where you draw the line, simple. The fine is part of their "debt to society." When they have paid that debt completely, I would be fine with reinstating their right to vote.
