The new law, sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) allows prosecutors to bring conspiracy charges against anyone who discusses, plans or advises someone else to engage in any activity that violates the CSA, the massive federal law that prohibits drugs like marijuana and strictly regulates prescription medication.<br /><br />"Under this bill, if a young couple plans a wedding in Amsterdam, and as part of the wedding, they plan to buy the bridal party some marijuana, they would be subject to prosecution," said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for reforming the country's drug laws. "The strange thing is that the purchase of and smoking the marijuana while you're there wouldn't be illegal. But this law would make planning the wedding from the U.S. a federal crime."[/quote]<br /><br />fucking republicans]]></description>

He demurred, saying that people who make most of their money in wages pay taxes at a higher rate, while those who get most of their income from investments pay at lower rates.<br /><br />"So it really depends on what is your profession, where's the source of your income, what's the specific circumstances you face, and the averages won't really capture that," Geithner said.[/quote]]]></description>

Dave Loebsack (D-IA) teamed up with another House Democrat and a Republican last week to introduce the Deficit Committee Transparency Act. It calls for the supercommittee to create a website where any meetings with lobbyists would have to be posted within 48 hours. Loebsack says campaign contributions would also have to be reported.<br /><br />"Whatever they receive, in terms of $500 or above, to themselves or to their leadership political action committees, I want that reported within 48 hours," he says.<br /><br />Loebsack says they "haven't heard from leadership on either side of the aisle yet" in response to the legislation. A letter sent to the supercommittee's co-chairmen asking them to adopt the 48-hour rule has gone unanswered.[/quote]<br /><br />make it happ'n capt'n]]></description>
