In reply to the discussion: Eric Holder Would Be 'Glad To Work With Congress' To Reschedule Marijuana [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)Since Congress funds the 'war on drugs' and all the rest, they hold the keys to that and we hold the key to them, not any one man. He can't wipe out all those laws by executive fiat.
And I don't want an US AG who goes against the will of the people who elect their representatives. Those who support the 'war on drugs,' the 'war on women' and the 'war on civil rights' were all elected by local voters.
I live in an area where the voters elected a mayor who put pot at the bottom of the priority list for LEOs. And that continued until MJ was legalized in the whole state.
That's where we have the power, showing contempt and abusing a public person is not the same as exercising our own power to change things, we are not helpless. I don't base my hopes on any one man, in private matters or public ones.
