Sessions' latest move just shows again why we need to follow the law.
by Merrie_SoltisIf we're going to have a stable society, we have to follow the laws as written. Even those we don't like.Attorney General Jeff Sessions just announced that he was rescinding the "Cole memo" left over from the Obama administration that directed federal prosecutors not to enforce the laws on marijuana use.
This announcement should not come as a surprise to anyone given Sessions' past comments on marijuana use. It also continues the pattern of the Trump administration basically doing everything it can to reverse policies put in place under President Obama.
That such a thing occurred in the first place is ludicrous. I don't want to get into a debate over marijuana use. There are pros and cons to legalization. That's a debate that we should have - and will have in the coming months. The issue I want to highlight is this: when we willfully ignore the laws, we end up with anarchy.
