House Republicans Want To Sue The President For Not Arresting People For Marijuana

The Republican-controlled House passed legislation on Thursday to force President Barack Obama to crack down on states that have legalized marijuana in any form.

Introduced by Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the ENFORCE the Law Act (H.R. 4138) would allow the House or the Senate to sue the president for "failure to faithfully execute federal laws," including those related to immigration, health care and marijuana.

Whatever happened to State's Rights? I thought it was "the cause".

Most Americans want pot to be legal now. If they keep this up and it's an issue before the election, it will ruin their chances of taking over Congress. Let's hope they keep it up.

These republicans are so wishywashy.
For it. Against it. Flip. Flop.
They are limp noodles flapping in the breeze.
