In my estimation, if the Arizona anti illegal immigration law is preempted by federal law, then isn’t every state law written against drugs also preempted by federal statutes? Doesn’t this mean that every person convicted of pot possession via state laws have reason to appeal?
The judge played politics with the lives and safety of not [...]
