Quigley's analysis

The analysis by Richard Quigley, referred to in Norse's supplementary comment, above, is something that everyone should read. Quigley is the fellow who actually bothered to look at the California Constitution, and then pointed out, correctly, that the constitution requires officials such as the governor and even Sheriff Tracy, to enforce state law, even when it conflicts with federal law, unless it has been struck down in an appellate court. Prop. 215 has never been invalidated in either a federal or state court, which suggests that the legally right thing for the Sheriff to have done in the case of the DEA raid of WAMM, was to OPPOSE the feds, not cooperate with them.

If necessary, Davis ought to be calling out the National Guard to oppose the DEA raids that violate Prop. 215. Not only is the Controlled Substances Act unconstitutional at the federal level, it has inspired many of our state and local leaders to violate their own oaths to uphold California's constitution, on top of disrespecting the will of the California people.

"Controlled Substances Act" delenda est.
