A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Thread: Liar in chief; I will legalize it after the elections.
Have we defined "it" yet?
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

POTUS can't re-schedule alone. POTUS can change enforcement priorities
I learned on this AM's local radio that Albany has already scheduled that.
Reportedly, beginning Dec. #1 (2018 I imagine) a law jurisdiction in or near the NY State capital will no longer prosecute non-violent possession charges for amounts of marijuana less than 2 oz.
Governor Cuomo "explained" (justified) this by saying New York State is surrounded by jurisdictions where the War on marijuana is winding down.
Canada has legalized recreational use.
Neighboring (adjacent) States have either recreational decriminalization, medicinal mj, or both.
Cuomo suggested NYS is simply out of step with the times, and that it's an irresponsible expenditure of scarce resources to continue the War on marijuana when there are better ways for our police and court systems to expend their meager resources.
My objection is that it makes the remaining Drug War more palatable. We should terminate Drug War entirely. This half-stepping will only prolong the human rights catastrophe of continuing the Drug War. Have a nice day.

I know of no numerical or other specified limit to the President's pardon authority.
President Trump could simply threaten to pardon any U.S. citizen convicted in the U.S. of a simple marijuana possession charge, within the rubric of Trump's pardon authority.
It might prove to be an interesting test of this presidential authority. I'm guessing it would be likely to end up in court.

Why did Senator Obama promise to close Gitmo his first year in presidential office?Quote Originally Posted by anatta View Post

"Why did he say it then?" R #23
Did candidate Obama lie? I don't thinks so. I think the Republicans obstructed him, to the detriment of the U.S. $tax $payer.
We could have continued to safely house the remaining Gitmo inmates Stateside, at a tenth the $price of Gitmo. But the Republicans would rather spite a Democrat than save us $tax $payers $Millions !!

Personally, I think we should just have a Joint Session in Congress, and get this thing passed!

I'm not a historian because I want to be.
I'm a historian because I was born in 1954.
And while I don't know much, I do know this about that:
any status quo
ANY status quo
ANY STATUS QUO
ANY STATUS QUO

has a constituency. And whatever they are, whomever they are, whyever they are, they will oppose change.
For more information, I refer you to Art.3 of the United States Constitution.
