Remedial Civics Lesson for San Bernardino, San Diego Supes

[User]

It looks like the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors will make taxpayers foot the bill for their lesson in constitutionality yet again, voting yesterday to continue their futile lawsuit against state medical marijuana laws. Although it hasn’t been a problem for 40 other California counties, the board maintains that federal law prevents them from obeying a state law requiring a county identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

The board – along with their counterparts in San Diego County – have already lost this argument twice in court, first in 2006 by a Superior Court judge and then again earlier this month in a unanimous decision by the 4th District Court of Appeals.

This time it will be the state Supreme Court’s job to explain to county officials that they must obey all laws, even the ones they don’t like.

Does anyone have a link to a voters guide showing who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?

Soniq420, google it for yourself. Don't let others make the decision for you. Thats what voting is all about.

I can find the members of the board of supervisors (see below). What I can't find is who voted for taking the case to the Supreme court. If anyone has a link to this info I'd appreciate it.

Mr. ColoMMJ, I'm not looking for anyone to make a decision for me. I already know the position I want to vote against (continued resistance to SD MMJ cards). I just can't find out who's on our side and who isn't.


Greg Cox (District 1)
Chairman Dianne Jacob (District 2)
Vice-Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price (District 3)
Ron Roberts (District 4)
Bill Horn (District 5)
