| Killiana1a said: If Prop 19 passed the US Supreme Court would have shut it down citing the primacy of Federal law over State law and the Interstate Commerce Clause in the US Constitution. The text of Prop 19 had no enforcement provision to prevent a corporate grow in Los Angeles from selling out of state, thus violating the Interstate Commerce Clause and inviting the US Supreme Court to nullify Prop 19. |
I do not know if the Supreme Court has the right to knock down a law like prop 19 that could have been voted yes by the people I may be wrong. What I do know is that the prohibition of alcohol was overturned by the federal government only after about 15 states relegalzed alcohol. As far as I know we are called the United States because our forefathers wanted to keep to much power from the federal goverment and set many forms of checks and balances to that government. One of them was to give a lot of power to legislate to each individual state. Has the government stopped Denver from all out legalization of marijuan, No. By states legalizing marijuana one at a time people are working for real reform and telling the government the will of the people will matter more than the government not realising they made a mistake by making it illegal for so long.
