        Because then it would be Corey Booker’s bill and he wouldn’t get credit for it.

        More likely that Booker's bill has elements that will get black men out of prison, and Chuck just couldn't have that

        Big Pharma wants into the weed business as does MonSatan. Beware grifters like Schumer who have sudden changes of heart - just means that someone paid at the office is all.

        Because then it wouldn’t be “his” bill. It’s how the Chuckster works.

        Chuck Schumer is a career politician, no seriously he’s never had a real job or lived as an ordinary adult.

        Why couldn’t Obama have just taken cannabis off schedule 1? Because the APPEARANCE of doing something is more important than actually doing something.

        There's a lot of things Obama coulda have done. Like prosecute the fraud from the financial crisis. Mighta helped stave off the anger at paid off politicians. (caveat for trolls, Obama did many good things, incrementally of course)
