Oh lord, please spare us from further dumbassery by these asshats:
The Republican-controlled House passed legislation on Thursday to force President Barack Obama to crack down on states that have legalized marijuana in any form.
Introduced by Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the ENFORCE the Law Act (H.R. 4138) would allow the House or the Senate to sue the president for "failure to faithfully execute federal laws," including those related toimmigration, health care and marijuana.
"President Obama has established a disturbing pattern of cherry picking the laws he wishes to enforce," Issa said in a statement. "The Constitution charges the President with the responsibility to faithfully execute all the laws and not just the ones he supports."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/14/republicans-force-obama-legal-marijuana_n_4964995.html
Apparently, to conservatives, the hallowed concept of "states rights" isn't quite so hallowed that they themselves are disallowed from cherry-picking certain laws and aspects of the movement to suit their own political and ideological agendas.
There really isn't much more to expound upon on this subject. It's pure and comically brazen hypocrisy -- and just simply more evidence, heaped on to a growing pile of evidence, that the conservative movement is one big giant fucking con job.
The Gadfly rests his case.
