In a filing on Monday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts’s Western Division said that while the there are “persuasive reasons for a reexamination” of the current scheduling of cannabis, its hands were effectively tied by past Supreme Court precedent dictating the federal government’s authority to regulate controlled substances even within state borders.
Accordingly, Judge Mark G. Mastroianni, an Obama appointee, granted the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case.
Looked like that kind of game. And with all the hype. Could never have lasted.
Thinking outside the brain
Stop fighting chimps
It's on purpose. Sounds like you, and certainly I, don't care. But it's being drummed up for a reason. Bad actors, looking to do bad things, by placing a target on people's backs. The worst kind of politics.
Republicans always have to appease bigots. It's in their DNA. Probably because they are bigots, their friends are bigots, and/or they just have a hard time knowing who a bigot is because they're too busy bothsidesing everything. They're cowards, fighting weaker opponents, always. Fuck them
And flings his poo
It's time for Warren G to regulate!
Exactly. I guess we are learning that most of our fellow citizens have a hard time with nuance, and all they can do is shit their pants instead of toughen up.
Takes some balls
Bribes allowed. Books on heroism not allowed. Everyday the United States gets shittier.
You can beat em all night long
I think the people making the rules have other things in mind. Not fairness.
FYI Verizon is ending their copper phone land lines in PA
I used to play defensively either by myself or with a friend against the computer. Most people seemed to play a rush strategy. I didn't find much fun in that. The games were over too quick. Instead I'd simply find a difficulty where I'd last anywhere from 1-2 hours in a game, beating back the cpu while building up more defenses and progressing through the ages and technology, in the early stages of the game. Eventually I could tell I was overpowered and then moved to defeat the enemy. There was a challenge in the beginning half of the game, then just crushing! And none of that rush stuff!
Yeah, spend all your time on it
Maybe it's a matter of quantity...
Dislike Arrows and Comments swap
I see that the voting arrows and the comment section icons on the front page have swapped sides, maybe in a recent update. I'm using the mobile app of course. I don't know if this is the right spot to voice my complaint. I just think it was better the previous way, arrows on the right.

Retired judge Michael Luttig is battling to stop a Trump victory – which he says would be ‘catastrophic for America’s democracy’
![‘I’m more worried today than I was on January 6’: top conservative’s warning to America](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/becec040-3e42-4a7e-bbc6-190e5230661c.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
> On the night of 4 January, Luttig received a call from old friend Richard Cullen, who was working as a lawyer for Pence. Cullen explained that John Eastman, who had previously clerked for Luttig, was making the claim that Pence had the constitutional authority to stop certification of the election results.
> Luttig told Cullen to advise Pence that this was flat wrong and further set out his views on Twitter: “The only responsibility and power of the Vice-President under the Constitution is to faithfully count the electoral college votes as they have been cast.”
> On January 6 a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol and demanded that Pence be hanged, leaving a trail of death, destruction and excrement, but the results got certified all the same.

The U.S. government has agreed to compensate thousands of migrant families who were forced apart at the southern border in 2017 and 2018 as part of the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy.
The class-action settlement with the ACLU was filed Monday in federal court in San Diego. It's a milestone in the years-long battle over family separations.
