DENVER — Sheriffs from Colorado and neighboring states Kansas and Nebraska say in a lawsuit to be filed Thursday that Colorado's marijuana law creates a "crisis of conscience" by pitting the state law against the Constitution and puts an economic burden on other states.The lawsuit asks a federal court in Denver to strike down Colorado's Amendment 64 that legalized the sale of recreational marijuana and to close the state's more than 330 licensed marijuana stores. Lead plaintiff, Larimer County, Colo., Sheriff Justin Smith, calls the case a "constitutional showdown." Each day, he says, he must decide whether to violate the Colorado Constitution or the ...

According to Crista Fitzgerald, owner of 30-year-old “Gir,” an American miniature horse, the family began looking for the animal on the morning of February 18 after it appeared to have escaped from its stall. “I locked his stall door, and I always do a double check,” Fitzgerald told KATU News. “The next morning I came back out before I had class in the morning, which is around 10, and he was gone.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1403197269028-0'); }); >"" st*l*="border: 0px ...

A former CIA case officer has been convicted for telling a New York Times reporter details concerning a reckless CIA operation that potentially sped up Iran’s nuclear advancement. Although the case against the CIA whistleblower was largely circumstantial and lacking evidence, former case officer Jeffrey Sterling faces a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison for speaking to New York Times reporter James Risen. Under threat of arrest, Risen tenaciously refused to reveal his sources to the government. After joining the CIA on May 14, 1993, Sterling eventually rose to the rank of case officer and began working with the agency’s Iran Task Force. Between November ...
You’re 55 Times More Likely to be Killed by a Police Officer than a Terrorist

Police Killings Grossly Underreported We previously reported that Americans are 9 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than aterrorist. But it turns out that our numbers were incorrect … This isn’t surprising, given that: “Reliable estimates of the number of justifiable homicides committed by police officers in the United States do not exist.” A study of killings by police from 1999 to 2002 in the Central Florida region found that the national databases included (in Florida) only one-fourth of the number of persons killed by police as reported in the local news media. The Guardian reports today: An average of 545 people killed by local and state law ...

Oklahoma's state scientists have suspected for years that oil and gas operations in the state were causing a swarm of earthquakes, but in public they rejected such a connection. When the Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) did cautiously agree with other scientists about such a link, emails obtained by EnergyWire show the state seismologist was called into meetings with his boss, University of Oklahoma President David Boren, and oil executives "concerned" about the acknowledgement. One of the oilmen was Continental Resources Chairman Harold Hamm, a leading donor to the university. The seismologist, Austin Holland, told a senior U.S. Geological Survey official that as far back as ...

“The Benghazi investigation is worthless.” “Gowdy has wasted time and money.” You’ve heard lefties make the same claims a thousand times over. Republicans shouldn’t be wasting their efforts on a Benghazi investigation because everyone involved is completely honest and above board. There are simply no secrets to be found. ...Until, that is, we found out about Hillary’s secret email accounts and servers. Yesterday, Trey Gowdy took a moment to point out that his work has now uncovered an entire swath of previously unknown secrecy within “the most transparent administration in history.” His “worthless” hearings suddenly seem a lot less ...
Senate fails to override Keystone XL veto [Five Votes Short]

The U.S. Senate voted down a key vote to override a White House veto on a bill to approve the contentious Keystone XL pipeline, which the GOP sees a key to job creation and maintaining a strong U.S. infrastructure. The vote on override a presidential veto failed 62-37. The Senate had passed the bill 62-36 in January.But last month President Obama vetoed the measure. Republicans have said that if they couldn't override Obama's veto, they plan to wrap legislation green-lighting the 1,700-mile pipeline into a spending measure or broader bill, such as the federal highway bill. But Democrats who oppose the $8 billion Canada-to-Texas project say they're confident Obama would ...
Antonin Scalia: Won’t Congress Fix Obamacare?

The conservative firebrand said Congress would probably act if the Supreme Court invalidates Obamacare’s subsidies. March 4, 2015 Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia seems to have faith that Congress would fix Obamacare if the Court weakens it—but not so much faith in the Congress that wrote the law in the first place. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, arguing on behalf of the Obama administration, warned the Court during oral arguments in King v. Burwell on Wednesday that a ruling invalidating Obamacare's insurance subsidies in most of the country would have disastrous consequences. Premiums would skyrocket, millions of people would lose their coverage, and many ...
Jon Stewart Blasts Benjamin Netanyahu Speech

Jon Stewart had plenty of fun with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States. Netanyahu addressed Congress, arguing that President Barack Obama shouldn't be negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. Critics called the speech an extended campaign speech for the prime minister. Netanyahu came at the invitation of Republican leadership, with Obama suggesting if the tables were reversed and Democratic leadership had invited the President of France during the Iraq War, Republicans would have called it disrespectful to President George W. Bush. Stewart took it a step further. "They would have gone f—ing bananas. Republicans would have demanded the ...
Alabama Supreme Court orders halt to same-sex marriages

Weeks after a United States District Court judge in Mobile ordered a probate judge there to issue same-sex marriage licenses, the Alabama Supreme Court has ordered a halt to same-sex marriages in the state.
"As it has done for approximately two centuries, Alabama law allows for 'marriage' between only one man and one woman," the order said. "Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to this law. Nothing in the United States Constitution alters or overrides this duty."
While same-sex marriage advocates chanted "love wins" outside Alabama courthouses last month, the Alabama Supreme Court said love has little to do with legal marriage in ...

Let us look at the law re: Clinton Emails by Cthulhu Daily Kos Tue Mar 03, 2015 at 06:21 PM PST So....in the last day, we've heard that SOS Clinton used only private email accounts to conduct official business. It appears that Clinton aides have said that they have turned over some, but not all, of the email conducted on those accounts. I and others have expressed concern about the legality of SOS Clinton's activities. Clinton supporters have responded that the relevant regulations did not go into effect until 2014, and therefore, our legal concerns are inappropriate. Unfortunately, based on my reading of the statutes and regulations as they existed from October 2009 through 20 ...

California Homes Raided in Investigation Into Chinese ‘Birth Tourism’ In an effort to gather evidence about three illegal “birth tourism” businesses for wealthy Chinese women, Homeland Security agents Tuesday morning raided 37 locations in Southern California. According to affidavits unsealed Tuesday, the businesses arranged for pregnant women to come to the United States on tourist visas so that their babies would be American citizens, entitled to United States birth certificates and passports. Many Chinese families look ahead to another benefit as well: When the children turn 21, they can apply for their parents to become legal residents of the United States. ...

Rabbits ‘have cultivated a taste for marijuana’ in Utah where lawmakers are voting on the legalisation of medical pot Could the legalisation of medical marijuana in Utah lead to a bunch of bunnies running around as high as a kite? That’s the view of a US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent who has warned of stoner rabbits running amok in the western state. Matt Fairbanks told a senate panel that rabbits have “already developed a taste for it” and warned that other animals would too. Mr Fairbanks explained his “marijuana eradication team” had seen large crops of illegal pot grown on Utah mountainsides destroying the environment. “I deal in facts, I ...

Last week, the winner of the 2015 Citizens United/CPAC Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award was “Duck Commander” Phil Robertson, paterfamilias of the Duck Dynasty Robertson family. In doing so, they were giving Phil the CPAC stage for a speech, knowing that he would speak his unvarnished thoughts. One doubts they expected his topic. After bringing out his heavily-duct-taped Bible and telling politicians to keep theirs with them, Phil went on the offensive – against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). He quoted the federal Centers for Disease Control, which estimates that more than 100 million Americans now have a sexually transmitted infection. “I ...

Some Democrats may be boycotting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech Tuesday, but tickets for non-members to get in to see the affair are proving to be a very hot item. Each member is allotted a ticket to give out for seating in the viewing galleries, similar to a State of the Union address, and they are so in demand that Republicans have pleaded with boycotting Democratic colleagues to share their extras. “I could scalp that ticket, there are so many people who want it,” said Rep. Tim Walberg, Michigan Republican. Mr. Netanyahu’s speech has deeply divided the capital city, with President Obama criticizing House Speaker John A. Boehner for extending the ...

Can any of you imagine the NYT placing a title like that at the head of a story about fund-raising by a Dim candidate,even though the Dims are the richest group of politicians and donors in our country? For example,Warren Buffett is said to be the 5th riches man in the WORLD,and he is a major Obomber backer and adviser. Why are there no articles by the left about how wealthy Buffet is and ...

This is the crux of the Global Warming Movement/Climate Change rubbish/CO2 tax... That's right depopulation.
