Let’s not forget that YOU voted for the Patriot Act Bob, and without reading it.

Maybe you should have taken out your constitutional oath and read IT before your vote. Might have made a difference.

I really don’t think a blog that promotes the abuse of meth amphetamine is appropriate at all. Isn’t there an editor at the AJC that has to see this drivel before it’s posted?

One of the problems that we have is that elected officials pushing laws through without a cause and affect study. This is a bad law and that is a District Attorney asleep at the switch. With all the cutbacks in services the DA offices are jammed with cases. Here in Gwinnett the cutbacks have been brutal. To take the time from real crime and dedicate it to punishing a mom just trying to care for her children as best she can is shameful. I know how this works. The DA will instead of a trial offer her a “DEAL”. She’ll think she has to take it because of the threatening manor of the DA. The DA acts like its a victory and this poor mom gets a conviction, and probation. The DA obviously doesn’t care about her as a person or this wouldn’t be happening. Its sad to see these people turn into monsters after they’re in office too long. They will damage a family forever and not think a thing about it. They have no heart ,soul ,or real purpose. Just a false perception of being right. Just sad. I wish this mother all the best. Its just shameful.

Criminalization is coming with this administration if you believe in God, oppose Obama on anything, oppose the media on anything, or do not follow any of their destructive laws.

What Barr mentioned in this article is a shape of things to come.

When I got sick last year I found it to be a huge pain to get the medicine. It also wasted about 5 minutes of the pharmacists time just to enter all the data in. But something I found odd is that the prescription drug I was taking that also contained pseudoephedrine, never was a problem to get. it was only a problem to get once I had to get a new brand because of patent suits (another troublesome topic) making the prescription product available.

“ignorance of the law is no excuse,”

But what about the ignorance of those who passed and enforce this law and quite a few others?

Joe Matarotz:

I was unable to translate what you wrote. Is it something like, “who protects us from those who protect us”? If so, a very valid question.

As far as lawyers also being the legislators who write these laws,

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

(Look it up. It’s Latin.)

This is the problem with so much legislation. Just think of all the business the highest number of a professionally trained group represented in Congress is creating for themselves, lawyer legislators, with the thousands of pages of health care legislation, much of which could become law.
