    Crime Bill Biden ran out the clock on purpose. He never had any intention to reschedule cannabis.

    NONE.

        You still haven’t learned that US legal precedent is God king. New rules dropped, presidential acts are all the rage. Biden just has to say those two words and he can regulate how long your ball hair is allowed to be.

            Doesn’t fuckin matter. Let SCOTUS mull it over for years. Drag it out through court for 4 years to see if he was allowed to do what he did do. Someone tries to reverse what he did? Fire them, let SCOTUS figure out for 4 years if he was allowed to do that too. Convince 20 lawyers to fight it until they are literally disbarred. I’m sick of democrats fussing over decorum and tradition and just giving this country away because they’re afraid of some vague rules. Make shit up. Not allowed to fire that person? Spin up some special cabinet packed with cronies and make that person report to them now. Literally anything. But biden won’t do shit. He’s taking a fucking nap, leave him alone.

      The only meaningful change for this would be via legislation, otherwise trump can just as easily undo it the same day.

      Edit: looks like the process is much more complicated and actually Biden already started the process at the beginning of this year (April): https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/update-deas-efforts-reschedule-cannabis-what-you-need-know-2024-09-11/ , I don’t understand this article

      Edit 2: the letter is actually asking him to try to hurry the process up (the article from September that I linked says there supposed to be hearing scheduled this Monday (Dec 2nd)). It is very misleading (as you can see from the comments), because it implies Biden is just ignoring this issue completely.

          Everything with government doesn’t have to be slow, but congress wrote this bill so that two successive presidents would have to keep pursuing it.

          It like everything else surrounding our government takes forever.

          Unless of course it’s something he wants to do, like sell weapons for an ongoing genocide. Then all bureaucracy evaporates into nothingness.

          His hands are untied when he wants them to be.

            Look, I get that you’re trying to make a point, but this is like complaining your parents were able to pay the mortgage every week but not buy you a new bike. One is planned, budgeted, agreed upon by all parties. The other is something you want, that takes time and planning which has yet to take place.

        Right. He waited until it couldn’t be completed until after the end of his term. On purpose. He ran out the clock. On purpose.

        He never wanted to reschedule cannabis and dragged his feet until he didn’t have to.
