Jeff Sessions Could Reverse Years Of Progress On Marijuana Policy
Drug reform advocates have a few concerns about President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nomination.

But Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), a leading conservative voice on marijuana policy reform, told The Huffington Post that people shouldn’t be concerned about Sessions interfering with state marijuana policies as long as Trump upholds his campaign promise.

“The president of the United States will be making that decision and Trump has publicly stated during the election that he was in favor of letting the states make the decision on this policy,” Rohrabacher said. “Jeff Sessions is a loyal man with integrity, he will do what his boss wants him to do.”

This is the biggest bunch of nonsense I've read about this. Rohrabacher is confused, ignorant, or stupid. The AG does NOT work at the behest of the President he is bound by the law to defend the United States. Trump isn't a dictator (yet). Trump isn't his "boss". Why is he saying this?

He is a sociopath loyal only to those giving him something. In my humble opinion we should not underestimate our very dangerous and fascist enemy.
