50 pounds of marijuana? $60,000? YAWN

This is supposed to be impressive? I'd like to see a North American university campus the DEA couldn't find 50 pounds of pot on.

Great, just what out gvm't needs to be doing. No need to deal with high gas prices, food shortages and homelessness. Let's focus our efforts on jailing college students instead.
Drugs will ALWAYS be readily available, in ANY town or campus.

As always, given enough rope, we (the american people) will always hang ourselves.

How about cigarettes and booze? Those are GUARANTEED

I wonder if any of those arrested had medical marijuana licenses? That would make their possession of medical marijuana legal under California law. Apparently, if one is tried by the federal courts for marijuana possession the jury is not allowed to know that the prosecuted was within the bounds of their state law. This article also shows that our best and brightest use drugs revealing the curtain of hypocrisy most educated Americans (not including you educated neoliberal religious scum from that plague of ignorance called the Midwest) live with and recognize as truth. America's drug enforcement polices are based on Christian values, if our laws could only be made rational we might actually accomplish the higher aims of these laws; i.e. creating a more safe society. Instead, prohibition, just as the mobsters of 1920-32 gained a huge capital recourse with alcohol’s illegalization, creates wealthy crime societies who deal drugs but also expand their well-funded enterprises into other turf such as prostitution. Just as with alcohol and tobacco, regulation of these substances combined with taxation would actually make society more safe. These artificial laws have no place in American tradition, and they create more crime and ruin more lives than they save. Christian moral values encourage the law to interfere with personal choice, but negative-liberty, i.e. freedom from oppression, is one the founding traditions our republic! Our law system needs to be divorced from Christian moral values and realigned with its enlightened rationalist traditions in negative liberty. A rationalist moral code would be something like this, that which is good for the community and the individual is good, that which good for the individual and bad the community is evil, and that which is bad for the individual but harmless the rest of society is the choice of the individual!

I just hate to see someone tried and convicted for something that is not a crime, so when I see sh-theads like this who plainly, broke the law, and as--oles like you defend them, it just grates my ass.

Louis Libby was convicted for obstructing justice, with no underlying crime whatsoever.

Not one. Nada. Zip.


In other words, it'd be like these folks above, selling oranges, not pot, and going to jail for being accused of lying about it to the police.

A jury ignored these facts and convicted him anyway.

So, your buddies above?

Let them hang. Louis Libby did and none of you law students ever came to his defense.
