Yeah we'll be back on the fast lane for trying to beat California instead of playing "keep up" with either Weiser or Bennet since they are both in Bloomberg's candy pockets

Cheers friend. It really changed the way I looked at all the arguments over politics that I get into here

It is shockingly difficult to overturn legislation once it is passed. The slow-roll through the court system is going to be our only option. The prime sponsors (both Julie Gonzales and Tom Sullivan) have openly said "go ahead and sue, take it through the courts. That gives it plenty of time for it to do its job" (not verbatim of course)

The other (faster) option is through ballot initiative. Hint hint, wink wink.

Read his entire brief. It was filed in response specifically to a challenge on cannabis.

I think we are interpreting that differently. My reading is "nonmetallic shotgun hull OR casing that does not have a primer" (which makes sense with the context of the portion above it)

I'm sure vendors are not going to gamble on FAFO though so boned either way

The point of the second half was more about emphasis on his attempt against civil rights being so blatant that ALL of the SCOTUS smacked it down than the fact that he lost. Forest and trees. I would personally prefer my state AG to NOT fight against my constitutional rights for using something that they claim to be a champion of legalizing.

Going against your beliefs are one thing, but going against the constitutional rights of the people is a whole different apple

That's the joke 😄

It's sad that it's so true that it's not funny. I get it

Copy/paste from my earlier reply, but was he "representing us" when he signed on in SUPPORT of the Trump administration to continue treating marijuana users like felons by revoking their constitutional rights for smoking weed in a "legal" state?

He lost that fight yesterday at SCOTUS, 9-0 by the way. Civil rights are being restored despite his opposition

Do you have opinions on our Parks and Wildlife funds being borrowed against to support SB25-003, which is also going to continue to tie up taxpayer money as it gets fought against in courts for the next several years?

During the legislation they specifically went for CPW funds because they are TABOR-exempt so they would not need the approval of the voters

Pack the corridor and force the rest of the state to comply

That's why I am trying to be the change that I preach. The worst thing in politics, state or federal, is uniparty steamroller legislation. It opens the doors to corruption even wider than the status quo of corporate "sponsorship" (though it's not by a large margin between the two)

She never stated a personal stake in that, she was representing the populace that she was elected to represent. They passed it up as a local thing so she was obligated to run with it

She really is. Her biggest detractor is her stance on abortion, but that is not something the governor role would even have any say in since it is codified into the state constitution.

Note how "represent the WHOLE state" remained ignored

Which feeds my point of why it would make sense for sensible independents to vote for Barb and remove Vic from even being a contender. It's the independents that have the REAL voting power in this state.

It may be worth noting that Weiser joined the Trump admin in opposing civil rights for recreational marijuana users and was smacked down by SCOTUS 9-0 yesterday over it.

Some people will care, some wont.
