From a constitutional perspective, California is 100% within it’s rights to legalize marijuana. The federal government disagrees and it will make it to the supreme court. It could be the biggest ruling since row vs wade if they uphold California’s legalization.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
