Jeff Sessions is going after recreational marijuana. Weren't all these republicans all about state's rights?

Isn't this incredibly hypocritical?

    Conservatives are profoundly hypocritical.

    Yes, it is hypocritical, especially since the vast majority of people want at least Medical Marijuana legalized and the drug rescheduled. That would be up to congress. Sessions is letting local agents decide whether or not to prosecute, so I imagine those in legal cannabis states won't be doing much.

    I think you have to be a closed minded hypocrite to be a Republican nowadays!

    Look at the new book coming out with Bannon quotes. Now I hear he's praising Trump!

    It is useless. Local and state law enforcement have broad latitude on whether or not to enforce federal laws. Lots of federal tax money will be wasted going after small potatoes.

    Yes it is. They are also supposedly for fiscal responsibility, so there ya go.

    Sessions got belittled and humiliated by trump to the nth degree.

    So now he's trying to make himself look significant.

    But nothing can help him now. He's been debased too much to matter.

    no more than any of those "libs" who cried about the "ingrate" states not bowing before the federal government's supreme authority...

    ...but when has a Y/A "question" that included the word "hypocrisy" even been able to board the flight to legitimate discourse without setting off the irony detectors?

    Jeff Sessions IS NOT going after recreational marijuana as he stated that it's up to the individual state's federal attorneys to decide pursue action or not.

    Just another liberal who read the headline and ran with it...like an idiot.

    I though the left was in the boat that federal law trumps states rights? They were from 2009-3017
