From the Tucson Sentinel, by Dylan Smith -
Gov. Jan Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne will ask a federal court to determine if Arizona's new medical marijuana law is legal, they announced Tuesday.
The two said court action is needed to determine if the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act violates federal law.
The state will seek a declaratory judgment regarding the measure, Brewer said.It's kind of interesting that Republicans are all for "following the will of the people" - except when the "people" support something they don't approve of, like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, comprehensive immigration reform, or, as in this example, medical marijuana.
Brewer's press release is here.
BTW - Ummm...didn't we just get through a legislative session where Republicans all over the Capitol spent their days proudly thumbing their noses at the feds? You'd think they'd be proud of something that the AZ voters did that those feds may not like...
