If this bill becomes law, I can't see it surviving for long once it reaches the
Supreme Court. Why the meatheads in Washington keep passing laws that are obviously unconstitutional is beyond my comprehension.

I am more concerned about reports our keepers have developed a fungus that will attack and kill hemp plants worldwide. That would violate the rights of countries where hemp is a legal crop. I also wonder about the consequences of deliberately eliminating an entire species of plant. If the keepers succeed, will they then begin to develop agents to destroy our food crops in order to better control the underlings?
