With the Justice Department’s new relaxed attitude about pot, marijuana has entered into a quasi-illegal status at the federal level. I applaud this decision, but I don’t like this ambiguity that I am seeing more and more where the DOJ decides it is going to ignore or simply not enforce the law. We saw it with the refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; we saw it with the immigrant DREAMers, and we’re seeing it now with marijuana laws.
I agree with these things from outcome point of view, but it shows how are country’s divisions are starting to fray our legal system.
Also, Gitmo.
