I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
High Times has an article titled "Jeff Sessions Breaks Silence On Pot Policy", implying a tell- all on How the new Attorney General plans on dealing with states that legalized pot. Not really anything substantial there I could find. I suppose we'll just have to take our best guess.

The congress makes the laws, the house of Representatives funds the law, & the executive branch carries out the law.
Liberals point fingers at the executive branch & ignore the Legislative branch. Deflecting, in order to carry out a bigger agenda.
Liberals despise private property rights.
Connecting the power play dots, we see:
Landowners signing up for permits to grow plants.
Executive branch carrying out legislative laws of Civil Asset Forfeiture.
Oh cedar makes your life easier..
Congress is both senate and house....
The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress which, along with the House of Representatives, the lower chamber, composes the legislature of the United States.
The composition and powers of the Senate are established by Article One of the United States Constitution.[1] The Senate is composed of senators who represent each of the several states, with each state being equally represented by two senators, regardless of their population, serving staggered terms of six years; with fifty states presently in the Union, there are 100 U.S. Senators. From 1789 until 1913, Senators were appointed by the legislatures of the states they represented; following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, they are now popularly elected. The Senate chamber is located in the north wing of the Capitol, in Washington, D.C.
As the upper house, the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it; of these include the ratification of treaties, the confirmation of Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, federal judges, other federal executive officials, flag officers, regulatory officials, ambassadors, and other federal uniformed officers. In addition to these, in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for Vice President, the duty befalls upon the Senate to elect one of the top two recipients of electors for that office. It further has the responsibility of conducting trials of those impeached by the House. The Senate is widely considered both a more deliberative[2] and more prestigious[3][4][5] body than the House of Representatives due to its longer terms, smaller size, and statewide constituencies, which historically led to a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere.[6]
The presiding officer of the Senate is the Vice President of the United States, who is President of the Senate; in their absence, the President Pro Tempore, who is customarily the senior member of the controlling party, presides over the Senate. In the early 20th century, the practice of majority and minority parties electing their floor leaders began, although they are not constitutional officers.

The United States House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress which, along with the Senate, composes the legislature of the United States.
The composition and powers of the House are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. The House is composed of representatives who sit in congressional districts which are allocated to each of the 50 states on a basis of population as measured by the U.S. Census, with each district entitled one representative. Since its inception in 1789, all representatives are elected popularly. The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435.[1] As of the 2010 Census, the largest delegation is that of California, with fifty-three representatives; the smallest is shared by seven states: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming, each with a single representative.[2]
The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills, which, after concurrence by the Senate, are sent to the President for consideration. In addition to this basic power, the House has certain exclusive powers which include the power to initiate all bills related to revenue, the impeachment of federal officers, who are sent to trial in the Senate, and in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for President, the duty falls upon the House to elect one of the top three recipients of electors for that office, with one vote given to each state for that purpose.[3][4]
The presiding officer is the Speaker of the House, who is elected by the members thereof and is therefore traditionally the leader of the controlling party. He or she and other floor leaders are chosen by the Democratic Caucus or the Republican Conferences, depending on whichever party has more voting members. The House meets in the south wing of the United States Capitol.
The 17th is an unconstitutional amendment & must be repealed. The Senators were created for keeping the HOR's honest & accountble. The 17th changed that accountability by turning them into buddies. The timing snuggles in with the unconstitutional Federal Reserves bank creation. Coincidence or a takeover? Takeover.
The Framers said that only mistakes can be amended. The amendments are not for changing the contract in any way.
There are many unconstitutional amendments added to the BOR by the HOR's.
Exactly, HOJ! The HOR's call the shots. The HOR's hold the purse strings. If the HOR's want mmj to be constitutionally free & happy, they would not be funding laws that make it a blackmarket delight.
Every unconstitutional law is the fault of the 17th amendment acting in cahoots with the greedy HOR''s.
The Patriot act, the aca, the CIVIL FORFEITURE, the land grabs for so called public lands, the collectivism laws that unconstitutionally override Constitutional Individual Rights LAW, the undeclared and perpetual WARS, the war on mj, the war on pond building farmers & ranchers, ... You name it, the HOR's are responsible.
The HOR's DEFLECT their responsibility by blaming those who are elected to obey the laws passed.
However, they are ALL to blame, because ONLY THE LAWS TAT ARE IN KEEPING WITH THE CONSTITUTION ARE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS. ALL OTHER LAWS ARE REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION AND ARE TO BE CONSIDERED NULL & VOID.
This is why States ae duty bound to nullify unconstitutional laws ound at any level of government, from feds to city governments.
Congress should only have to meet once a year to check in.
City council take an Oath to the Constitution plus to their state's Constitution. The main Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.
Tat is that.
Ound is found.
Ae is are.
Hang around long enough you'll learn my typo slang.
