The president can actually end all the drug wars effectively by ordering the law not to be enforced and he could also pardon drug offenders.
According to Underbelly, the UN would impeach him!

^^^ Exactly. All those Assholes were promoted to there DEA positions durring bushes presidency. Blame Bush for allowing these assholes to be hired !
wanna play a game?
you name one way in which obama has been bush 2.0, and i'll name three ways in which he hasn't.
deal?
Patriot Act.
does not even qualify.

Fail......
It is way beyond setting the tone. Obama could summon Eric Holder to his office tonight and order that the MMJ raids stop tonight and Mr. Holder would only have two possible answers to that order: yes sir, or here is my resignation. Prosecution of the drug war is wholly owned by the president and for now that is Mr. Obama.
Clearly, these drug raids are part of Obama's political calculations, he does nothing without political calculations. Obama owns the drug war. All of you guys on here giving him a pass are deluding yourselves.
No it wouldn't! The president is only bound by the laws in the Constitution. It's the Constitution which defines the President, not UN. The President has a duty to the American people from the powers designated by the Constitution. The Constitution defines the conditions of impeachment, not the UN. You catching a pattern here?![]()
first of all, syncos is not nlxsk.
second, show me the patriot act bush signed into law and show me what provisions obama reauthorized. we'll take a look at the length of each one.
This without a doubt is the most intelligent post in this thread so far.
First of all, I never said he was.
Secondly we still have the patriot act.
Why do you choose to defend this guy knowing he could put a stop to these raids if he really wanted to ?

show me the patriot act bush signed into law, then show me what few provisions obama reauthorized.
you really think the raids would stop if obama stepped out tomorrow and got himself labeled soft on crime, paving the way for mr. romney to carry out his agenda?
raids would continue, the badges would just be different. state AGs would get whoever they needed to fill the gap.
people are naive.
The Constitution itself places treaties as equal to itself.
Article 6.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Aren't you the one who always says everyone is OK if they adhere to the state laws. If Obama reined in the feds, wouldn't that would be a good thing ?
Wow, it really is looking more and more like 1930's Germany...
The President cannot issue an order that contravenes any part of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the keystone of marijuana prohibition in almost every country where it is prohibited. An EO decriminalizing cannabis would constitute a crime, and would be grounds for impeachment.

Of course he is the one who says that, but when things are looking grim, he changes his story. Same old tactic.
His attorney general argued he could kill any American citizen he wanted at any time without any kind of due process (OK, he used a semantical argument there and suggested the executive making a unilateral decision was the same thing as due process and that due process and judicial process are not at all the same thing). That's far worse than anything Bush ever argued, and the shit his legal team was arguing for was offensive to anyone who prefers to live in a free society based on the rule of law.
If you vote for Obama, you are voting for this.
Even Romney hasn't argued as much although I'm sure he agrees (or Santorum).
