    I’m going to wager the federal government couldn’t do anything for state charges

      Totally.

      Just like the Federal Government did nothing about alcohol prohibition.

        You see, this is kind of the reverse. The federal govt could blackmail states into legalization but it’s going to be hard to make states adjust their own prior convictions. Apples and oranges.

          LOL

          I miss the days when Democrats had balls. FDR had a literal plot on his life and still didn’t bitch out on using his office to make real, substantial change.

          These days people look at things have have been done and still somehow convince themselves better things aren’t possible. That should be the Democrats’ slogan in the race this year.

            While I largely agree with you, I’m not sure a civil war for a 20,000 state level prisoners makes immediate sense
