Pot Theft

From 6ABC

    Donald Nord won't be getting his pot back. Federal agents seized his stash and took some pipes, too.

    The Hayden, Colorado, man has a state-issued medical-use permit for his weed. No federal charges were filed against Nord, so he asked a county court to order the pot's return.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration agents refused and Nord sought a contempt citation. Now, a federal judge has ruled a local court doesn't have the power to hold the D-E-A agents in contempt.


If the feds have a law prohibiting marijuana, then they should charge him. If they haven't charged him, what right to they have to retain his property?

This guy's getting screwed.

Indeed.

Who cares about Roe? I want to see Judge Roberts's stand on Raich.

I heard that Roberts holds a narrow view on the Interstate Commerce Clause and Affirmative Action.
