re: #312 goddamnedfrank

Which will make plain that we’re arguing obedience to the State solely for the sake of being obedient to the State, completely glazing over how utterly the courts have failed the people. We’re going to ignore completely any question or examination of what the State’s compelling interest was in making marijuana illegal in the first place.

Obviously we are arguing exactly that, because that’s how our judicial framework is constructed. Ignoring this most basic fact in such a conversation nearly guarantees that a moderately sympathetic listener will dismiss the legalization-proponent as a fringe wacko.
