"... With marriage equality and health insurance, it’s easy for Bruning and Pruitt to stand up for their alleged federalist convictions. They already despise gay rights and universal health care, but attacking gay people and poor people is a bit gauche these days—so instead, both attorneys general can degrade and disadvantage their citizens under the ostensibly principled banner of states’ rights. When it comes to marijuana, however, Bruning and Pruitt’s true colors show. For these politicians, federalism was never anything more than opportunistic camouflage, a façade to conceal their discriminatory designs. Fair-weather federalism is too kind a term for what Bruning and Pruitt believe. Their vision of federalism was never anything more than a sham. ..."
