SESSIONS’ REVENGE?
When politics triumphs over common sense, chaos reigns.
American politics is about power and control defined as the exchange of money for the power to influence the use of government force.
July 30, 2017 post entitled “A New American Way???” suggests ways to drain the SWAMP.
Is Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ directive to federal prosecutors to enforce federal marijuana laws his revenge on President Trump for the President’s criticism of how Sessions is doing his job as Attorney General? To this observer, AG Sessions has done a poor job and failed our country by not prosecuting the seemingly unlimited Obama Administration corruption. He is a SWAMP member who believes in a dual justice system—one for us folks and another for the politically connected; therefore, he does not believe in equal justice under the law.
On the other hand, was President Trump wrong to proclaim that he like Obama did not want to strictly enforce federal marijuana laws? Wasn’t he like Obama making law when he does not have the constitutional authority?
Isn’t the Senate member from Colorado wrong to expect this law and order administration to follow an illegal Obama directive? What is he using for brains—a shortage of which is a serious problem in the United States Senate? It is suggested that this senator get off his butt and introduce legislation to nullify the part of the law causing the problem and then pass a new federal law returning the issue of marijuana use back to the states. Maybe that makes too much sense and there is also a shortage of common sense in the United States Senate.
