Realize Eric Holder said the same thing about respecting state laws over federal, and then proceeded to attack dispensaries, so it's hard to believe him this time.

And let's be clear that the attack ruined a lot of people and took parents away from their kids for ten or more years.

If you're talking about the ones in Washington, weren't those operating illegally under Washington law and federal law? They didn't attack dispensaries because they were dispensaries -- in Washington some will be legal soon -- but because they weren't following the guidelines Washington sent.

All are illegal under federal law.

What's it called when laws are enforced for some people and not others?
