In case you didn't know, the FBI has zero legislative power... They have absolutely nothing to do with legalization of anything, and a law enforcement branch that picks and chooses which laws it enforces is a breath away from a police state.

So, get off your high horse, leave the poor feds alone, and start leading rallies against the real bad guys in Congress.

Where did I suggest that the FBI do anything? But I wouldn't go so far as to think of them as the "poor Feds"

No argument from me on the people in Congress, they forgot that they're supposed to work for the people long ago. but I'm afraid that I don't think it will matter who is in there, if I'm being honest about it. You're not going to get a room full of a bunch of old rich white people to agree on anything #1, but the real problem is money. I hate to use a sound byte from the talking heads on a 24 hr cable news channel, but we really do 'need to get the money out of politics' -- anything short of that is pissing in the wind.
