Okla., Neb. Sue Colo. Over Marijuana Law

By Brett Snider, Esq. on December 19, 2014 11:54 AM

Oklahoma and Nebraska are suing Colorado over its legalization of marijuana, and the U.S. Supreme Court gets to be the first court to hear it.

The complaint filed Thursday claims that under Colorado's new marijuana scheme, the state has created "a dangerous gap in the federal drug control system" and has allowed the drug to flow into neighboring states. According to The New York Times, law enforcement on the borders of Colorado have complained that marijuana arrests are stretching jail budgets too thin.

What is the legal argument against Colorado's law and why is this issue before the Supreme Court?

Federal Drug Law Pre-emption

Federal prosecutors have been taking a lax enforcement view of legalized marijuana in many cases, despite the fact that it is still illegal under federal law -- regardless of state legalization.

Both Oklahoma and Nebraska claim that Amendment 64, the Colorado law legalizing recreational marijuana in the Rocky Mountain State, is unconstitutional because it is pre-empted by federal drug law. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes federal law the ruling law of the land in matters which are under the federal government's control. The complaining states argue that pot regulation was well within the realm of the federal government, so the conflicting Amendment 64 must be struck down.

And why does this case get to go straight to the Supreme Court? The High Court has original jurisdiction over suits between two or more states, meaning it won't have to hear this pot case on appeal.

Angela Brown case: patient advocate to bring petition for dismissal to LQP Co attorney

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 12:09 PM PST

The case of Madison mom Angela Brown, who gave medical cannabis to her brain-injured son in advance to the implementation of Minnesota's law legalizing its use under tightly regulated circumstances, has received statewide and national attention.
West Central Tribune staff writer Tom Cherveny reported Thursday in Defense attorney to seek dismissal of criminal charges against mother who gave son medical cannabis:

A Lac qui Parle County case that has attracted national attention in the debate over medical cannabis returns to court next week.

Angela Brown, 38, of Madison, will appear Wednesday morning in District Court in Madison for a hearing on two gross misdemeanor charges: endangering a child − permitting to be present when possessing a controlled substance and contribute to the need for child protection or services.

She is accused of giving her 15-year-old son Trey medical cannabis to treat his pain from a traumatic brain injury.

Her attorney announced Thursday that he will enter motions to dismiss the charges against her during the hearing. Michael R. Hughes, of Bend, Oregon, said he will file one motion arguing that there is not probable cause for the charges against her. The second motion will argue that the court should dismiss the charges “In the Interest of Justice,’’ according to a news release issued by Hughes on Thursday.

Angela Brown has appeared on the national television show “The View” and both state and national news programs. There is an online petition asking that the charges be dismissed. . . .

The online petition may be viewed (and signed by those who agree) here. According to a press release from Minnesotans for Compassionate Care, the petition will be delivered to Lac qui Parle County Attorney Rick Stulz on Tuesday:

On Tuesday at 10 a.m. CT, patient advocate Patrick McClellan of Minnesotans for Compassionate Care will deliver a Change.org petition with close to 9,000 signatures to Lac qui Parle County Attorney Rick Stulz, calling on his office to drop charges against Angela Brown.
Brown is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday to face charges of child endangerment for treating her son, who suffers from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), with medical marijuana oil.
In May, Gov. Mark Dayton signed a medical marijuana bill into law that allows Minnesota residents suffering from certain conditions to access medical marijuana oil if their doctors recommend it. The law does not take effect until July 2015.
“The charges that have been brought against Angela Brown are not just serious, but outrageous,” McClellan said. “This is a mother who is being punished for treating her son with a product that is now recognized as medicine in the State of Minnesota. Ironically, helping her son has led to child endangerment charges that are hurting her son and their family.
“An overwhelming majority of Minnesotans support laws that allow access to medical marijuana. Our legislature approved one, and the governor signed it,” McClellan said. “The County Attorney Office’s actions are unnecessary, unreasonable, and out of touch with Minnesota values.”

According to a Facebook event page, Brown's supporters are also planning a peaceful gathering of support for Brown at 9:00 a.m on Wednesday:

The hearing is set for 10:00 a.m. on December 17th at the Lac Qui Parle County Courthouse. If you plan on attending, plan on meeting at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot. The court has denied 20/20 access to this hearing. I need to say that this is a silent/peaceful protest showing that we are in agreement that Angela Brown did not neglect/abuse her child.

Lutefisk Capitol of the USA and former home for poet Robert Bly, Lac Qui Parle County seat Madison is located halfway between the equator and the North Pole, according to the website for the city of 1,551. It's a 3-hour drive from Minneapolis-- or a 2-hour drive on a good day to St. Cloud, where the legal medical marijuana distribution center nearest to Madison will be located.

We can’t repeat the various allegations, old and new, that the Republican hopeful lodged in an hour-long Aug. 2 interview. Which is to say, we can’t relate a lot of what she has to say. But here’s one relatively benign sample: “I’ve been thrown in jail, tmhrown in nut wards,” Anderson said. “They’re trying to bug me in this house. I’ve been reduced to poverty. They tried to hack my computer with my Windows 10.”INSTEAD OF BUG use the term Harrasment use of Illegal Excessive Consumption . https://taxthemax.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2018-06-04T11:35:00-0 https://taxthemax.blogspot.com/2018/03/697surreypropertytaxpaidunderprotes To harrass, bully, Stalking Sharon by DSI Ed Smith please also investigate Forensic Files https://www.facebook.com/groups/SharonsFiles/photos/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/SharonsFiles/files/ Alone among nine candidates in this profile series, Anderson declined to meet or be photographed. As a partial explanation for that, she said that she recently heard radio host Rush Limbaugh say on air that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders now needs a security detail. Anderson, obviously, has no such luxury. Sharons SS in the bank on the 3rd, Sharon did not have Bus fare to meet Mr Feathers. Citizenery of MN must keep their Dignity, even tho Disabled, older etc. “Now, I’m not big and important like that,” she said. “But I do rock a lot of boats with a lot of people.” City St. Paul is Titanic Boat sinking I'M not, A lot of people rock boats with her, too.Google Michael Volpe Over decades, Anderson has filed voluminous lawsuits against judges, law enforcement, prosecutors, elected officials and banks. She remains perpetually miffed with the authorities who evicted her from her St. Paul Summit Avenue residence in 1988 for failing to pay property taxes. (She says she can prove she paid up and that the property remains hers.) http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/andersonadvocates/PDFedem2006/file8.pdf Forensic Files http://sharon4anderson.org and http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/andersonadvocates/2006water/PDFcases/sharoncase Though she began running for office at least a decade before that, her eviction is at the root of a perpetual quest to attack public malfeasance, using the ballot box. “How am I, with no money, going to expose government corruption?” she said. “Only by being a candidate.” She already looks ahead to her next race for St. Paul City Council, she said. Anderson remains vexed, too, by her 1996 arrest in Itasca County on terroristic threat and harassment charges, which led to 94 days in a psychiatric ward. Eventually a judge released her after finding her in partial remission from her illness. Released as Sharons 2nd husband never filed charges and he was Murdered, Released as NO CASE. http://cpljimanderson.blogspot.com One positive came from that experience—a campaign slogan. “I am the only certified sane candidate,” Anderson says happily. She has had made the most of her motto.https://law.justia.com/cases/minnesota/supreme-court/1974/45250-1.html Learned in Law has never been defined by Legislature https://sharon4anderson.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/google-lawmen-cases- mslature to mean License. Anderson has run for everything from state House to Minnesota Supreme Court justice, even U.S. president. Her electoral record roughly parallels her trial record; she rarely comes close to winning. She has, however, cracked 30 percent at the polls nine times, most recently in a 2016 state Senate race. And she can look back on one startling triumph. In 1994, Anderson beat Tom Neuville in the attorney general’s race primary. Neuville, then a state senator, retired in January from his job as a Rice County district court judge. Surprisingly, Anderson said she found that experience rather joyless. She can think of only one moment she really liked—being interviewed in radio talk show host Barbara Carlson’s famous hot tub. “That was fun!” she said. Exposing corruption Anderson can be disarmingly warm when talking of her hosta plants or the kitty mewing in the background. But she can shock, too. The figures who populate her Centaurus-like constellation of grievances, for example, often get indecorous appellations attached to their names—“the Muslim,” “the lesbian,” “the black man.”ALL LIVES MATTER Sometimes she moves from one mood extreme to the other in a single ping-pong paragraph of dialogue. “I know I am hard to follow,” she said. “But I have 40 years of evidence on all this stuff.” Her life’s purpose is to lay all that evidence out to the public, revealing government abuses that she says have been visited on her and other people—like convicted parental-rights violator Sandra Grazzini-Rucki—whose causes she champions. You can look those manifold allegations on her campaign web site, blog postings and long litigation trail. We’ll refrain—that libel attorney is still not handy. Attorneys favorable tom Fitton www.judicialwatch.org https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/hud-sued-for-recor Eric Kaardal, Michelle MacDonald et al. While she acknowledges winning is not her aim, Anderson claims she is “more serious” than usual about this race. For that, she cites twin causes: Donald Trump and Keith Ellison. “I am loyal to Donald Trump,” Anderson swoons. “I love that man. I love his family.” She calls the president her “mentor,” though one wonders if the reverse couldn’t be true. Her innovative 1994 campaign promise to throw Skip Humphrey in prison for treason predates the Trumpian “Lock her up!” chant by two full decades. Her feelings toward Ellison are noticeably less rhapsodic. Because of his religion, she said, Ellison is unqualified to be attorney general. If he should win, she fears being recast as a “second-class citizen.” Even Licensed Lawyers make us 2nd class citizens. “Ellison is a Muslim,” she says dispositively. “How can a Muslim take an oath to support and defend the United States Constitution? He can’t. He owes his allegiance to the Quran and to sharia law.” She cannot be convinced that Islam’s followers constitute no unified, purpose-driven bloc in opposition to her politics. “There is only one kind of Muslim that I know of,” Anderson said. We feel morally obliged to point out that she is wrong. To state the obvious, Sunnis, Shiites and Sufis are three major Islamic variants of Islam and they have major doctrinal differences. Ellison reportedly identifies as Sunni. Likewise, it’s untrue that Muslims uniformly agree on sharia. According to a 39-country Pew Research Center poll in 2013, adherents tend to view sharia as “the revealed word of God” rather than “a body of law.” Even where “sharia law” is thought desirable, there are few countries where a majority believes that law should apply to Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Not that railing against his religion is her only strategy for derailing the Ellison campaign train. She said she recently petitioned the Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board to get Ellison’s law license revoked. Doing so ignores an irony—Anderson is herself no attorney. In fact, she harbors deep animus toward pretty much all lawyers and declares she doesn’t need to be one to serve as AG. (She’s right that it’s not required.) The lawyers’ board did not share its reply to Anderson’s complaint. But Anderson read part of it aloud over the phone.Posted at http://sharon4mnag.blogspot.com It said she accuses Ellison of using his congressional office and attorney general candidacy “to attack President Trump and incite violence.” She also charged that Ellison’s conduct “constitutes treason” and “violates the separation of powers doctrine.” Anderson said the board won’t investigate her complaint. Its website shows that Ellison is current on his Minnesota registration fees as of January 2018. It also indicates that he voluntarily requested his Minnesota license be inactivated because he hasn’t kept up on local CLE credits. If he did that, he’d be immediately reinstated, a board spokeswoman said. AG ambitions Not all of Anderson’s goals involve Ellison. In fact, should she somehow manage once again to Neuville the competition, she has other big plans. Atop her list, Anderson wants somehow to revive Magner v. Gallagher, a St. Paul fair housing case that the U.S. Supreme Court accepted in 2011, but never heard because the parties agreed to a dismissal .http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/magner-v-gallagher/ Facts current AG Lori Swanson wilful neglience to Write a Brief is Pervase/Fatal http://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DOJ-St-Paul.pdf Feathers stated he would not read Executive Summary In early February 2012, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez made a secret deal behind closed doors with St. Paul, Minnesota, Mayor Christopher Coleman and St. Paul’s outside counsel, David Lillehaug. Perez agreed to commit the Department of Justice to declining intervention in a False Claims Act qui tam complaint filed by whistleblower Fredrick Newell against the City of St. Paul, as well as a second qui tam complaint pending against the City, in exchange for the City’s commitment to withdraw its appeal in Magner v. Gallagher from the Supreme Court, an appeal involving the validity of disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act. Perez sought, facilitated, and consummated this deal because he feared that the Court would find disparate impact unsupported by the text of the Fair Housing Act. Calling disparate impact theory the “lynchpin” of civil rights enforcement, Perez simply could not allow the Court to rule. Perez sought leverage to stop the City from pressing its appeal. His search led him to David Lillehaug and then to Newell’s lawsuit against the City. Fredrick Newell, a minister and small-business owner in St. Paul, had spent almost a decade working to improve economic opportunities for low-income residents in his community. In 2009, Newell filed a whistleblower lawsuit alleging that the City of St. Paul had received tens of millions of dollars of community development funds, including stimulus funding, by improperly certifying its compliance with federal law. By November 2011, Newell had spent over two years discussing his case with career attorneys in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, and the Civil Fraud Section within the Justice Department’s Civil Division. These three entities, which had each invested a substantial amount of time and resources into Newell’s case, regarded this as a strong case potentially worth as much as $200 million for taxpayers and recommended that the federal government join the suit. These career attorneys even went so far as to prepare a formal memorandum recommending intervention, calling St. Paul’s actions a “particularly egregious example of false certifications.” All this work was for naught. In late November 2011, Lillehaug made Perez aware of Newell’s pending case against the City and the possibility that the Justice Department may intervene. A trade was proposed: non-intervention in Newell’s case for the withdrawal of Magner. Perez contacted HUD General Counsel Helen Kanovsky and asked her to reconsider HUD’s support for intervention in Newell’s case. Perez also spoke to then-Civil Division Assistant Attorney General Tony West and B. Todd Jones, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, alerting them to his new interest in Newell’s case. The withdrawal of HUD’s support for Newell’s case led to an erosion of support in the Civil Division, a process that was actively managed by Perez. In January 2012, Perez began leading negotiations with Lillehaug, offering him a “roadmap” to a global settlement. Once negotiations appeared to break down, Perez boarded a plane and flew to Minnesota to meet face-to-face with Mayor Coleman. At that early February meeting, Perez pleaded for the fate of disparate impact and reiterated the Justice Department’s willingness to strike a deal. His lobbying paid off when Lillehaug accepted the deal on Mayor Anderson blames that outcome on the machinations of former assistant U.S. attorney general for civil rights, Tom Perez. Perez is now chair of the Democratic National Committee—where Ellison is deputy chair. So he is implicated, too. “I call them the Obama boys,” she said. Anderson also wants to eliminate all of Minnesota’s 87 county attorneys and its city attorneys. In their place, 10 statewide district attorneys would be appointed under her command. Why do that? “Because we are over-lawed and over-lawyered,” she said. “I believe that we do not need all these lawyers.” Further, she would forcefully utilize parens patrie (“parent of the fatherland”). The legal precept allows state attorneys general to, for example, sue private companies on behalf of citizens for monetary damages, in a manner similar to class actions. So, again, why? “Because we SCOTUSblog Coverage Fair housing case dismissed (Lyle Denniston) Petition of the day (Conor McEvily) Briefs and Documents Merits Briefs for the Petitioners Brief for Steve Magner et al.

Anderson additionally wants to impeach some judges and accomplish various other things besides. She knows she is never going to make any of it happen.
