]]> Comment on Federal Legal Precedence Dead?…or, Dixie’s Spirit Still Lives! by Chief http://www.radioactivechief.com/?p=2893&cpage=1#comment-71372 Chief Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:33:27 +0000 http://www.radioactivechief.com/?p=2893#comment-71372 If congress has the power to pass laws regulating drug traffic at all, the 10th Amendment would be moot in that case. One COULD argue in the face of over 100 years of precedent back to T.R.'s (1906) Pure Food and Drug Act that Congress did NOT have this power...but, given the current state of <em>stare decisis</em>, that argument has little firm legal ground to stand on. Anyway, I see nothing in the 10th Amendment that allows states to actively VIOLATE federal law, as it happening in California, where localities are actively promoting the cultivation, distribution, sale, and taxation of marijuana, which is CLEARLY in violation of federal drug trafficking laws, which have been repeatedly tested in court, and upheld. I concur that the DoJ's suit against AZ would be constitutionally destructive if it is successful.

The Constitution could be in serious jeopardy if this Arizona case gets any headway.

What was the general thinking of and especially when agreeing to be interviewed by 'The Rolling Stone Magazine' ?? Why not 'Pravda'??

He had no choice. <strong>Chief's Reply: <blockquote>I concur.
