Pot Criminalization: Up in Smoke?

[IMaDick]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we've got a dictatorship going on, but I do think we have too many conflicts between the states rights under the Constitution and the Fed's intervention.

Please name a freedom that is not regulated at the federal level.

Thanks.

Okay, Dick, off the top of my head, I can't think of any that aren't regulated or banned on some level and don't have time right now to research. But, you know I'll scour around later.

I think I get your point though? It's not the way the founding fathers intended when they established a federal republic and signed off on the Constitution, largely giving states' rights to govern themselves. I'd still argue that the US is a far cry from operating as a dictatorship because we elect (via our state electoral college reps) the President and we enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc...

Freedom simply cannot be described as something you pay for,or that is regulated by law to inhibit the free exercise thereof.

Religion is definitely regulated,speech has been defined and is regulated,You have the right to vote for one party or the other.

The only right I can think of that is not regulated is the "right to Remain Silent"

Good luck on your search.

By the way I noticed the change from freedom to right in your thought process, should we confuse the 2 ?
