I doubt he'll entertain a pot solution until he deals with some "real important issues".
i doubt he'll "entertain a pot solution" at all. there is always something of greater importance than the protection of the people's constitutional rights and if there isn't they can make something up. it is far more important that government create problems that only they can solve and to work ever more diligently to shackle the market and their constituents. the urgency of their pork laden legislation is obvious to us all.
