3) Oppose the Patriot Act.

4) Legalize weed.

Done. Demographic shift in favor of the right.

Yep.

1) Be passive about gay marriage, don't fight the gays

2) Stop making abortion a major part of the platform

3) End the war on drugs

4) Legalize ewed federally but leave it up to the states

Edited, and if they did this, they would sweep every election for a decade.

Its funny too, because sooo many conservative republicans tell me "social issues are meaningless! They aren't important!"

Well if they aren't important, change your stance on them and ALL of you fiscal and defense policy will go through.

According to what? If a law is unconstitutional, ok. Other than that, no AG should be the sole arbiter of what is just.

According to the prosecutor's discretion. That is in the very nature of the position.

What is stopping congress from changing the law?

---

Vested lobbying interests and Congress's tendency to avoid "rocking the boat." It is politically safer to do nothing in most situations.

Almost 100 years ago, the consummation of alcohol and the sell of alcohol was illegal. 150 years ago, if you were black you couldn't vote. In 20 years, marijuana will be legal. You're idiotic stance against it will be left in the dust. The fact of the matter is, you couldn't make a logical argument against it because there is no logical argument. Laws change, laws aren't perfect, just because they were put in place at some point doesn't make them invulnerable to change. We are worse off 10 fold as a nation because of the WOD. It significantly impacts the lives of our inner city communities. It creates a black market for unhealthy drugs for people with addictions, but assholes like you just want to throw them in jail. If the drugs were legal the shitty drug pushers wouldn't exist, but assholes like you created them and gave them opportunity to thrive. We wouldn't have the wild wild west on our border from cartels that want to push more and more bad drugs into our country (feeding the addicted), but assholes like you allow them to thrive with your archaic stance on it. More than likely drugs like crack, crystal meth, and many others wouldn't exist, but assholes like you perpetuate addicts and make them try and find new avenues for their addictions instead of treating them for it. But hey keep living under your rock thinking this type of stance isn't important. People like you have never done the research to think for themselves because if you did, you'd actually logically understand where i'm coming from.

Each dollar allocated to marijuana related arrests takes away a dollar used to enforce laws that actually matter.

Clearly you have watched the highly accurate journalistic piece called Reefer Madness.

If a city prosecutor decided to focus on enforcing J-walking laws with a large amount of city resources, would that be something you could criticize?

Well if they are going to take big government positions, they might as well go all in and advocate for more taxes to support them.

Trump gives 2 craps about pot legislation. Sessions is a really good man. No worries.

hell

even HRC got busted telling Wall STreet the was anti-legalization (for those financial interests)

And Republicans are about to let this shite walk right past them cause they still are scared of this poster

This Sessions pick is really shining a light on who just bought into the cult of personality surrounding Trump. They parroted his bullshite slogans about "draining the swamp" but they don't believe in it. And neither does Trump apparently.

As an Alabamian, I was happy to see Sessions keep returning to the senate over and over, as it kept him from inflicting his horrible ideas on my state as governor or as a lawmaker. This appointment means he won't be representing my state at all any longer, which I like selfishly.

As an American, this appointment is gross. It's not only bad politics, it's bad government.

frick Jeff Sessions.
