House GOP blocks vote protecting medical marijuana states

[Swordsmyth]

Several lawmakers said Wednesday that GOP leaders won’t allow the full House to vote on an amendment that bars the Justice Department from pursuing states that have legalized medical marijuana.
Without legislation, states would lose protection they have enjoyed for the past four years, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions could begin his long-sought crackdown on the rapid expansion of legalized pot.

Fellow Californian Rep. Duncan Hunter told The Hill that after Rohrabacher “talked about it this morning in conference,” GOP leaders said “it splits the conference too much so we’re not going to have a vote on it.”

Bullshit. They won't worry about their drunken sailer debt and spending "splitting the conference".

All measures to reinforce Reagan's war on drugs shall be taken. Mexico's weed planters must be restless, and DEA management's scared to lose a crop.

so instead of drafting/sponsoring/advocating for legislation to legalize it, some people want to just handcuff the DOJ. No spines, no balls, political losers.
