85. What does the Justice department have to do with it?
The laws that local and state authorities act on aren't written by the DoJ. The DoJ deals with federal issues, and they certainly aren't packing the jails with non-violent recreational pot smokers.

No, that's not the 'politicization' of law enforcement, that's just the enforcement of ridiculous laws.

It appears you're trying to change the subject... and poorly.


The bottom line is this; If all the candidates are 'the same' on your important issues (except the WoT), but only one of them has pledged to do something that you agree with on issues that are otherwise important, doesn't that mean that they aren't the same?

If you're true to your principles, and those include bringing this administration to justice, then you do have a preference in the candidates. Are they a 'perfect' candidate? No, of course not. But it's the only one that will address real concerns the others won't.
