    The Clinton administration behaved in a more classic manner, favoring federal authority over states' rights when Janet Reno's office went after the west coast medical marijuana laws.
    You mean Ashcroft v Raich? I know of the litigation, but I forgot that Janet Reno changed her name.

    Seriously, though, neither Bill "I didn't inhale" Clinton nor George W. "Alcoholic and Recreational Drug User" Bush had progressive views toward decriminalization of drugs. The worse of the two? Bush. But that's not saying much.

    Cute, but you are apparently not aware of the fact that Reno's office was the first to go after a state medical marijuana initiative (California's, specifically.) Perhaps it was the DEA that spearheaded it but it was backed by the Atty. General's office under Clinton and you can look that up easily.

    I have absolutely no experience in law and am on this forum as an interested citizen, so I will not be able to recite case names other than "Brown v. Board of Ed" --- hopefully this doesn't disqualify me from stating my opinions and giving information that doesn't go by a case name. Do you have any objections to my continued presence in Your Forum, Your Honor?

    Geez... Before I make a joke about your name, read the rest of what I wrote.

    Given that I want to read the joke about my name, I will neither confirm nor deny having read the rest of your post. So go ahead and BRING IT, man!

    Of course I read your post. You seemed to convey that Clinton's admin didn't fight California's MM laws, I stand by what I was aware of in the news as it was happening. But I'm far too lazy to investigate it and give you a link to further information, so perhaps you can work "lazy" into your joke along with "dumb" and "turkey".

    I choose names that fit me. I think I've done well with this one, given that I'm legally illiterate yet prolifically opinionated and if you don't like non-sequiters (as indicated in another thread) then you'll HATE my posts! But what's the weather like where you are? My lunch was fantastic, need to get ready for the party tonight. Mike, is that you? Like I was saying, Hillary Hahn is a goddess of talent and beauty, listen to her rendition of Barber's violin concerto and you'll be awestruck. And with that, I bid your team well in the polo match.

    Yours faithfully,
    Dumber Turkey Than Advertised

    p.s. ---- how fitting that what appears to be the ravings of a drunken lunatic (my post above) would show up in a thread about drinking.
