Will Obama pardon all the people arrested under federal charges in these states since 1/20/09?
If the head of the DEA needs to be replaced before the president bothers ordering them to “stand down”, he could at LEAST issue pardons for the people caught up in the in-between time period.

Funny how it doesn’t note that the raids were actually a Clinton policy holdover; or that in fact most of the senior officials in the DEA are Clinton era appointees as well.

Doesn’t fit the narrative I guess.

The Democrat is more for “state’s rights” (I don’t like that term) than his Republican predecessor. Who would of bet on that?

Yeah, I prefer to call it "State's Powers". Sadly, I can't bet on any stance for the bulk of the Republican Party in its current incarnation. I guess we'd have to ask Joe the Plumber what they say they stand for now. If they ever actually take action towards limited government again, I might bet on them again. And though I often rail against President Obama's economic positions, I want to go on record as supporting him on this. I'll take any progress towards freedom I can get these days. Of course I have to add the small caveat that this is simply a promise, not an actual deed. But President Obama seems to be starting with follow-through in other areas, so I have hope. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear that. Now if I could just hope for less of a train wreck on "economic solutions"...
