"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803
This is simply outrageous.
A 4-year-old boy brought crack cocaine worth up to $10,000 to his preschool class Monday, authorities said.
Police said the boy took rocks of crack cocaine out of his backpack and showed them to other children in his Head Start class, saying the drugs were flour. Teachers realized it was cocaine and called authorities.
Police searched the boy’s home, but did not find the parents, Sgt. Russell Burns said.
The boy and his sister were placed in protective custody and arrest warrants were issued for the parents, Burns said. No names were released.
Every time a child brings a gun to school there are calls for us to outlaw guns so that it can never happen again. This incident has convinced me of the wisdom of that logic. America needs to outlaw crack so that this type of thing will never again happen in our schools. America is the only country in the world with a specific Constitutional right to crack, and it is because of this that children are able to bring crack to school. It is only by repealing this right to crack that we will ever be able to make our schools safe again.
Make crack illegal. Now. Do it for the children.
