Feds lose battle in War on American People
It was a small but important battle that extended back to the Clinton administraton.
In this case:
The U.S. Supreme Court let stand on Tuesday a ruling that the government cannot revoke the federal prescription licenses of doctors who recommend medical marijuana to sick patients.Every little bit helps in this long war touted by administration after administration as the war on drugs but which is really a war on the people.Without any comment, the justices rejected a Bush administration appeal of the ruling that bars the government from punishing and from even investigating a doctor's conduct because of a recommendation that a patient use marijuana.
This particular battle extends back to the clinton administration and demonstrates that republicans and democratics have joined together in this war which has led to 1000s of deaths in our inner cities, that has led to the highest incarceration rate in the world (in the land of the free?), and which at its core attacks the liberty of each and every one of us.
