THE US REVOLUTION

Sam Adams started the US revolution when he was not granted the rights of a free Englishman. Since the thirteenth century, the Magna Carta prevented the king from seizing property without due process of law.

The English stole Sam's beer, and drank it. No judge, no hearing on "it is the product of a crime." Sam was joined by the wealthy when the English governor started moving his people into already built mansions. The people already living in these mansions resented losing their homes.

SUPER IDIOT, Bush, decided to go back to the old ways. I was SHOCKED when the US Supreme Court found that it was OK to seize property without even a probable cause hearing. Of course, very few rich people lost their property. But what fun it became to steal from the poor.

The theft defined as property seizure is the entire source of funds for some police officers. DA offices are using it as an excuse to get around the rule against using public funds to run political campaigns. For all I know, the idiot, vindictive US Attorney for San Francisco is using this tainted money to keep harassing Oakland medical marijuana clinics.

The solution is simple. The reasons that the constitution is fairly silent about the powers of the President, is because EVERYONE knew about the powers of a king. (A mistake, as the Constitution needed to be amended with the Bill of Rights.)

Our President can issue kingly decrees called executive orders. They must be obeyed unless changed by Congress or found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

But with our incredibly stupid war on drugs, attorneys have been quietly working for over thirty years to tie all defined drug crimes into the federal drug schedules. The US Attorney General has the legal, Congress approved, right to move ANY DRUG from ANY SCHEDULE.

The US Attorney General is the servant of the President. That is what the words, "I serve at the pleasure of the President" means. If a servant can do something, then the master can also do that something. (You are welcome to read these British or old US common law rulings.)

So President Obama can just say, "If it can be scientifically proven by peer reviewed science, that the substance is worse than alcohol, for the drug user, then it will be put back on the federal schedules. Otherwise everything is off the schedules until it can be proven that it is worse that alcohol."

WE WILL ALL BE VERY GRATEFUL. It would be our emancipation proclamation, freeing the disabled into BEING ABLE TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN DO.
