I said she's had that position for a while it isn't a sudden or new thing to advocate for the medical use of the drug.

Here's a link that more clearly shows the story in the 3rd link you posted was a story/event did not happen today or this week, as a matter of fact it was much earlier than that.

EDIT:

The above link may not be the same story I'm just too tired to parse it to see if the details are the same but this link also shows your original 3rd linked story is from 12/2011 and was simply added to the daily chronic on 12-3-2011 by 'weedmaster'.

http://zrants.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/u-s-supreme-courtstate-medical-marijuana-laws-not-preempted-by-federal-law/

The daily chronic just shows the current date at the top of the page, go there tomorrow and it will be "Thursday May 10 2012".
