I was just thinking about Goldy’s post from the other night on the ultra-federalist bills being introduced by Washington’s House Republicans and something occurred to me. Larry Haler’s name was on three of those bills. That would be the same Larry Haler who introduced this bill to overturn the state’s voter-approved and legislature-revised medical marijuana law.
So let me get this straight. In Larry Haler’s world, the federal government can’t:
– regulate the manufacture or sale of any firearms or ammunition
– collect income taxes from Washington state residents
– enact federal fuel economy or greenhouse gas emission standards
But it’s perfectly fine for the federal government to throw people in jail for using a medicinal plant, even though the residents of our state voted to allow people to have access to it, and even the American Medical Association now questions the federal government’s classification.
What?
and scotus can vote 5-4 over people of florida. also.
These people are as indifferent to the hypocrisy of what comes from their mouths as they are to its falsity. They are little children living in their own little make-believe world.
Typical conservative.
Typical human. My stuff is good and should be legal, your stuff is bad and should be illegal. It’s not a philosophical viewpoint, just standard way human minds work.
Just out of curiosity, Lee, are you also consistent on this issue? Is it OK for the Feds to enact federal fuel standards in your mind but not federal drug standards? What’s the difference?
(And of course the feds have the right to collect income taxes – that is in the Constitution in black and white in the 16th Amendment… how can any wingnut think a state law can override that???)
I guess the Finn Government will be tightening the noose on all smoking?
#6. Good luck with that. Bet they fail.
When smoking is outlawed, only outlaws will have cigars.
