South Dakota Governor To Challenge Amendment To Legalize Marijuana

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Friday issued an executive order allowing a legal challenge to the constitutionality of a November voter-approved amendment to legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
In the order, Noem argues that the “initiative process used to place” the amendment seeking to legalize marijuana and require the legislature to pass laws ensuring access to marijuana for medical use “was not proper and violated the procedures set forth in the South Dakota Constitution.”
Noem’s order also states that Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Rick Miller has legal standing to sue on the amendment because he is acting on behalf of the governor.
quote:
In a lawsuit filed in late November, Miller and Pennington County Sheriff Kevin Thom claimed the constitutional amendment, Amendment A, violated rules against amending more than one subject at once.
Amendment A had incorporated legalizing marijuana, regulating its recreational use, taxing it, ensuring access to medical marijuana and requiring that state lawmakers pass laws regulating hemp.
Instead, Miller and Thom are arguing that broader revisions to the state constitution need to be approved through a constitutional convention, according to The Associated Press.
quote:
Meanwhile, South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg’s (R) office and a group of citizens who led the campaign for the amendment, set to go into effect July 1, argued that the amendment only covers one subject: cannabis.
Amendment A passed with 54 percent support in the Nov. 3 election, while a separate question on legalizing medical marijuana received nearly 70 percent.
Noem was among the biggest opponents to marijuana legalization, calling the vote “the wrong choice” in a statement released two days after the election.

Amazingly myopic. Who is actually against marijuana legalization? Just legalize it, tax it, and move on.

To be fair, not every Democrat supports legalizing it, which blows my mind that anyone is against legalizing it.

On January 31, 2019, Noem signed a bill into law abolishing the permit requirement to carry a concealed handgun.[83][84][85]
quote:
As part of her Family First Initiative, Noem promised to protect religious liberty and traditional marriage. She described marriage as a "God-given union between one man and one woman" and referred to the Supreme Court's decision as an attempt to silence those with traditional beliefs.[86]
quote:
Noem has signed several bills restricting abortion, saying that the bills would "crack down on abortion providers in South Dakota" by requiring providers to use a state form women must sign before they can end a pregnancy. She also said, "A strong and growing body of medical research provides evidence that unborn babies can feel, think, and recognize sounds in the womb. These are people, they must be given the same basic dignities as anyone else."[87][88]

On November 18, 2019, Noem released a new meth awareness campaign named "Meth, We're on It". The campaign was widely mocked and Noem was criticized for using a Minnesota firm.[90]

State legislatures do not matter, just look at what happen with the voting in some states.

You fricking suck. You come hijack my thread just because you asked me a question, that I answered that you didn't see.. And you want me to answer it again because you are too fricking lazy to go back and look for my answer.
You are really obsessed with me.

I don’t understand the thought process of actively going against a voter approved amendment. Does she really just think that highly of herself that she thinks she knows best?

Dammit she had everything, why kill your career on this stupid hill
