All those states that decided against abiding federal law by legalizing or decriminalizing pot in their states believe they can ignore federal law. California is now doing it twice by also ignoring federal immigration law. I'm not sure how I feel about this. If Jeff Sessions loses this fight, then perhaps my state can ignore federal law regarding SSM and no longer grant marriage licenses to homosexuals. (It's Illinois. It ain't never gonna happen here. I was just sayin')<br /><br />Actually, I'm totally down with Sessions' move. I also like the idea of denying federal funds to states that insist on ignoring federal law. Apparently those who run such states, like Jerry Brown, don't realize they can have the federal laws changed if they compose a rational, fact-based argument that persuades a majority in Congress to rescind the laws they don't like. But until they get that memo, I'd love to see them suffer the consequences of their petulant rebellion.<br /><br />You racist.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-60776792980368619702018-01-06T15:52:39.226-07:002018-01-06T15:52:39.226-07:00More like, “You’re a racist even though there’s no...More like, “You’re a racist even though there’s no evidence to back that up.”.

I'm wondering what level of hate is required on the part of those who call such facts "hate" and "racism" when it is a simple observation of <i>fact</i> without requiring regard or reference to race.<br /><br />Dan, your false accusation is noted. Not a surprise, I suppose, and I won't expect a retraction or apology because that's not what you do.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-76204818617581765602018-01-06T07:52:06.875-07:002018-01-06T07:52:06.875-07:00Okay, so I'm confused.
