Colorado officials defend marijuana legalization at U.S. Supreme Court

[Boyd Crowder]

File Under : Asinine

Arguing that two neighboring states are dangerously meddling with Colorado's marijuana laws, state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman on Friday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a landmark lawsuit filed by Nebraska and Oklahoma over marijuana legalization.

In a brief submitted in response to the lawsuit, Coffman wrote that Nebraska and Oklahoma "filed this case in an attempt to reach across their borders and selectively invalidate state laws with which they disagree."

The two states' lawsuit seeks to strike down Colorado's licensing of recreational marijuana stores. Nebraska and Oklahoma officials argue that the stores have caused a flood of marijuana into their states, stretching their law enforcement agencies thin and threatening their sovereignty.

Soap bars. You took the words out of mouth

I hope that the SCOTUS simply denies the suit standing, essentially saying that NE & OK have no right to file the suit at all. Rather, they attempt to usurp executive authority while ignoring sovereign immunity of the States.

We're only doing what the federal govt allows us to do. If NE & OK take exception to that, they need to take it up with the federal govt, not us.
