“While the Senate was debating equal pay for women on Tuesday, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) took to the floor to criticize President Barack Obama for allowing states to weaken the punishments for using marijuana and other drugs.
“Now let’s turn to what the Obama administration thinks,” he said. “Typical of its pattern of disregarding the law across a large range of areas, this administration refuses to charge some defendants for crimes they duly committed if doing so would subject them to mandatory minimum sentences. Typical with this administration’s pattern of disregarding the law, it is not taking action in most situations where States have enacted laws decriminalizing marijuana, even though that is contrary to Federal law.””* Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Desi Doyen (Green News Report) and Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) break it down.

HA! Thank you TYT! I’ve been waiting for someone to point out the corrupt hypocrisy of Sen Chuck Grassley (R-Ia). Also I agree with you lormack.
The only one disregarding the law is you, senator. The law of the land is the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and you violate it by stomping the jackboot of tyranny down on state’s rights when you would impose federal laws against a state’s legalized cannabis initiatives. You’re a disgrace to true conservatives and Americans who believe in limited government. You should be yanked out of office by your Masonic apron and Shriner’s fez.
