House Republicans Want to Sue The President


Recommended Posts

I have, at least in California. I haven't looked at any federal statutes or laws in a decade at least on that subject. Since I'm white, the chances of me being harassed for possession is virtually nil. Hell, even in NYC during the peak of stop and frisk I could move around the city while carrying without much trouble.

 

White people are usually arrested for white people crimes.

Don't worry, your glue sniffing won't be punished:

 

But a committee report submitted by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), one of the three congressmen who introduced the bill, suggested Republicans would also use the proposed law to try to force Obama to crack down on marijuana in states that have legalized its possession and sale.

 

The report stated that Obama was not faithfully executing federal law by allowing states to legalize marijuana for recreational and medical use. The federal Controlled Substances Act lists marijuana as a Schedule I substance, the most prohibited classification, which is reserved for dangerous drugs with no medical value.

 

Not enforcing federal drug laws in states that have legalized marijuana “infringes on Congress’s lawmaking authority,” the report said.

 

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who introduced the bill with Goodlatte, has criticized Obama for “dispensing” with federal laws related to immigration, marijuana, and mandatory minimum sentences.

Isn't this a statist thing? Have the Tea Party shown they are naked power grabbers? Deporting, imprisonisng and harassing Americans? Wow, and that states rights thing...

 

Actually, I just backed up my point stupid. Republicans are going after stronger enforcement of drug laws in states that are basically not seeing enforcement, Rand Paul is even backing this, good old Libertarian he is, lol

 

 

 

Are you saying that they didn't bust places that were doing business that was legal under state law??

 

I'd tell you to go read the law, but that wouldn't address the bigger issue here: you're completely !@#$ing retarded, and it's pointless to discuss anything with you.

You're conflating federal and state/local enforcement. When's the last time ANYONE was harassed by the DEA for simple possession (excepting the retarded ephedrine laws)?

I guess you missed this, the focus of the article in the rawstory link you posted:

 

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has thrown his support behind legislation that Republicans could use to force President Barack Obama to crack down on legal marijuana in states like Colorado and Washington.

Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, the libertarian-leaning senator said he supported the Enforce the Law Act, which has been approved by the House. The legislation would allow Congress to sue the president for failing to faithfully execute laws.

Paul said that Obama appeared to be “writing his own laws whenever he feels like it.”

 

“He also does need to enforce the law. We write laws and he is just deciding willy-nilly if he likes it he enforces it, if he doesn’t, he won’t enforce it, and we really think he needs to be chastened, rebuked, and told that he needs to obey the constitution,” he added.

Republicans have championed the bill as a way to make President Barack Obama enforce immigration and health care laws, and prevent the executive branch from overstretching its regulatory authority.
