These Republicans are correct

[shagster01]

I do like to see these republicans standing up for states rights here. They are correct on this issue.

Seven Oklahoma Republicans have come out in opposition to the state’s lawsuit against Colorado for legalizing marijuana. In a Wednesday letter to Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt (R), who along with the Nebraska attorney general filed suit in December against Colorado, the group of Republicans argue the suit poses a risk to state’s 10th amendment rights... -------- ...“We think the best move at this point would be to quietly drop the action against Colorado, and if necessary, defend the state’s right to set its own policies, as we would hope other states would defend our right to govern ourselves within constitutional confines,” the letter reads. “We also do not feel that attempting to undermine the sovereignty of a neighboring state using the federal courts, even if inadvertently, is a wise use of Oklahoma’s limited state resources.”

The whole story here. . .

I'm going to take the silence as support for what these republicans are doing as well.

About time. The whole situation is ludicrously unconstitutional.

And any success the lawsuit gains just sets bad precedent for the future, especially as the contrast between "red" and "blue" states continues to sharpen.

I'm still a registered Republican, because there are still some in the party who still believe that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are supposed to be followed.
