Personally I see the elitism of legal and medical "professionals" as our biggest obstacle backed by their wealth and political connections.

What's this going to do to the mix? I heard a lot of complaints about Holder being to complacent with the political agenda of the current administration.

Loretta Lynch Promises New Start with Divided Congress
BY ANDREW RAFFERTY
Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch on Wednesday defended the legality of President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration, but sought to win approval from Congressional Republicans by pledging to rebuild the rocky relationship between the Justice Department and the GOP.

"I look forward to fostering a new and improved relationship with this committee, the United States Senate, and the entire United States Congress - a relationship based on mutual respect and Constitutional balance," Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee during her confirmation hearing. "Ultimately, I know we all share the same goal and commitment: to protect and serve the American people."

Lynch's nomination comes as the Republican-led Congress battles the president's immigration orders, which conservatives say is illegal. But just as important to Senate Republicans is that Lynch's potential confirmation marks a new start to the relationship between the Justice Department and Congress after years of partisan battles between the GOP and outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.

"Going forward, every attorney general creates their own path," Lynch told Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. "You've asked how I will be different than Eric Holder. I will be Loretta Lynch."

Lynch, currently the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, would become the nation's first black female attorney general if confirmed. Some Republicans signaled they would join Democrats in supporting Lynch, despite her defense of Obama's immigration order that is strongly opposed by conservatives.

She said throughout her testimony that she found the legal rationale defending the president's action as "reasonable," but said undocumented workers do not legally have a right to citizenship.

Moreover though, Republicans were anxious to move on from the Holder years by stressing the need for an independent leader of the Justice Department.

"You're not Eric Holder, are you?" Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas asked. "No one is suggesting that you are, but of course, Attorney General Holder's record is heavy on our minds."

Seriously guys, did you think they were going allow someone who is pro-pot to act as AG? It will never happen too many other interests involved.

Race, sex or political persuasion have nothing to do with the problems of our "justice system". Honestly though, I did not expect her MJ legal opinion to sound like that of Mitt Romney's (Another Harvard Law School Alumni). She could have at leased parsed some words to bring herself inline rhetorically to that of her boss (Another Harvard Law School Alumni) and predecessor. I would guess this will not be the last "surprise" we'll hear from her about MJ during the next two years either :(

Talk can be cheap, action is what really matters. If Obama picked her, hopefully he knows what hes doing, ha ha.. Then again that supreme court justice he picked a few years back isn't all too bad on many rulings...whats her name, i can't recall but shes OK for being a SCJ.

Lets wait and see what really happens, she wants to get their approval, if she said weed should be legal, her ass would get the boot

The problem is these people are educated but not about cannabis. I think our tactics are wrong we need to educate them on the subject.We need to point out all the medicinal properties, and show them that they even have a patent for medicine derived from cannabis. Are they even aware of that?
