Re: Marijuana basically decriminalized today in CA
This is fine as a state law, but if a federal law enforcement officer, (DEA, DOT, ATF) catches them they will face federal punishment and jail time.

I don't think thats possible. In the case of Arizona , feds are sueing on the basis of Constitutional rights. This wouldn't fall under that guideline. Many in California have been locked up in federal courts already for possessing and growing it.

If it's decriminalized and eventually legalized will California argue the Feds have no jurisdiction within the state?

Good question, as of right now they do have jurisdiction. I forgot what states already have this same law as California but there are 2 or 3. In those states the feds have and do continue to make arrest on federal laws despite the states lighter laws. However, the feds can make it hard on them. Just as in the case of seatbelt laws and others, the feds can mandate that the states will lose fed funding in some area if they do not adopt fed laws.

Nah. The Feds didn't sue Arizona after Gov. Janet Napolitano signed a law ordering state law enforcement officers to ignore Federal Immigration laws. They did sue when her successor signed a law ordering the same state law enforcement agencies to enforce Federal laws.
The Feds won't sue for this CA pot thing either, nor for the legalization if Prop. 19 goes through. It's just not a hot button issue for the Obama Admin.
Personally, I don't have a problem with pot - growing or possession. Legalize it and rob the cartels of a major revenue stream. That will save lives in the long run in Mexico and along the border. Coupled with real border enforcement it would make Mexico safe to visit again. More importantly, it would make Mexico safe for the Mexican people again.
