Pray tell how would they get past the 60 vote threshold in the senate? It’s really amazing to me that this fact flys over peoples head, they just blame the president when really it’s an over used filibuster. Change the filibuster rule to a standing/talking one and then congress is forced to actually legislate instead of stick their thumbs up their collective asses and only vote on pidly things/spending bills.
I guess you could possibly have put it in a spending bill that had to pass but to my knowledge it has to be legislation to legalize weed not just a DEA reclassification.
