New Legislation Could Force Feds To Crack Down on Legal MarijuanaBrandon Turbeville Of the Senators supporting the bill, Rand Paul is a notable proponent. Indeed, Paul recently stated that Obama seems to be writing his own laws whenever he feels like it. Paul also stated that He also does need to enforce the law. We write laws and he is just deciding willy-nilly if he likes it he enforces it, if he doesnt, he wont enforce it, and we really think he needs to be chastened, rebuked, and told that he needs to obey the constitution. Yet, ironically, Paul and other Republicans are now supporting a bill that could very well create a nightmare if it is passed and enforced. While Paul and his ilk are attempting to portray the bill as a method to prevent regulatory authorities from overstepping their bounds, health care laws creating undue burdens on citizens, or unchecked illegal immigration, the reality is that the bill will likely cause more trouble than it will solve. This is because, if the bill passes, Congress could use the new law to force the President to begin cracking down on states where Marijuana is legal or on those states that have nullified unconstitutional legislation. The bill could also force the President to enforce unjust mandatory minimum sentencing statutes. It is important to note, however, that the United States governmental structure already has mechanisms to challenge the Constitutionality of laws that have been implemented, particularly if they have caused actual harm as well as the violation of rights by laws that have not been enforced. Still, Paul and his fellow Republicans want the authority to compel the enforcement of even more oppressive legislation than would have otherwise been the case. Sometimes that violation of rights may occur from the lack of enforcement of a particular law and sometimes it may occur from the enforcement itself. In addition, it is also true that a President would simply not be able to properly execute his job duties if he must constantly be on guard for the possibility of being served with a lawsuit. The fact that such lawsuits could come from a sizable pool of people who would have political motivation and incentive for launching suits against the President, it is not reasonable to believe that such conditions would serve to do anything other than cripple the Chief Executive from serving its functions. In a country where there are almost as many laws as there are people, supporting the Enforce the Law may not be as good an idea as many people justifiably angry at the Obama administration might at first suspect. It is time for the American people to become more streetwise in terms of the legislation they support and that they begin to understand that knee-jerk reactions are never an effective manner of approaching a political problem.
