The Huffington Post - Trump Tells Governors He’s All About States’ Rights. That Must Mean He’ll Leave Marijuana Laws Alone.

 Bill of Rights

10^th Amendment

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The idea that the feds may go after state pot laws is “totally counter” to what the president told us, says Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.

According to one of the governors in the room, Trump repeatedly told the group he wants states to focus on crafting their own policies without fear of the federal government butting in. The president never mentioned marijuana laws, but for some, his strong defense of states’ rights signaled he’s not about to send the feds after states that are currently regulating the plant on their own.

DYI:  If Donald Trump desires to go down in history as the greatest President since the founding fathers – all he needs to do is follow the playbook – THE CONSTITUTION.  That includes areas he would love to mettle in but are clearly a State right.  In other words this will require rigor and discipline on his part along with his administration not to stick the heavy hand of the Fed’s where it does not belong.

Let’s hope this is simply the left hand (press Secretary Sean Spicer) not knowing what the right hand’s position is (President Trump).  With a hot issue as this we won’t have to wait long.

I personally was hoping that Trump right out of the gate would rescind all of the executive orders that were clearly designed to be legislation by Presidential fiat.  I’m speaking to both political parties, up to and including executive orders he agrees with.  So far I’ve little action – despite Obama’s multiple executive orders restricting gun ownership – giving Trump a bevy of ammunition [like the pun?] to bolster the constitution and play to his core supporters.

This blogger is a card carrying Libertarian and I did vote for Trump.  As the alternatives Clinton whose baggage is beyond imagination or the Libertarian candidate who is in no shape or form a libertarian plus an embarrassment for the party with his moronic statements leaves Trump as the clear choice – at least in my mind.  So…Time will tell…so far I’m seeing opportunities slip from this new administration.
