Good riddance to the Cole Memo

Perhaps the absence of the Cole Memo, and the outrage following its repeal, will finally get Congress to act and do something meaningful.

In reality, the Cole Memo was limited, vague, and had no force of law – any Attorney General could overturn it at will (as… has… been done). It was the appearance of the federal government respecting state law without having to actually, you know, do it … The good thing about [The current AG’s] tone-deaf action is that it’s woken a lot of people up to the absurdity of still having a federal prohibition that could allow prosecutors to arrest citizens for openly following state law. [He] has managed to anger liberals, conservatives and libertarians through his action.
