Glenn Greenwald writing in Salon.com:
"The same person who directed the DOJ to shield torturers and illegal government eavesdroppers from criminal investigation, and who voted to retroactively immunize the nation’s largest telecom giants when they got caught enabling criminal spying on Americans, and whose DOJ has failed to indict a single Wall Street executive in connection with the 2008 financial crisis or mortgage fraud scandal, suddenly discovers the imperatives of The Rule of Law when it comes to those, in accordance with state law, providing medical marijuana to sick people with a prescription."

ReplyDeleteYeah, nothing like going to a whining, leftist hack for information....
This is the same clown who proclaimed during a campaign interview that he "..inhaled. Many times. That was the point." To raucous laughter from the fawning youngsters in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteThese inhalations were presumably not for medical reasons, but for pure enjoyment.
There is no difference between the two parties. Both are anti-liberty and in favour of the welfare/warfare state. Why would there be any expectations that civil liberties would be respected?
ReplyDelete"There is no difference between the two parties. Both are anti-liberty and in favour of the welfare/warfare state"...
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think you might have a good point there vangeIV...
