We’re not saying one vote would have changed today’s outcome of the latest House vote against the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment, which would have severed funding of federal cases against medical marijuana patients in states where laws accommodate the drugs use.
We are, however, suggesting that if Rep. Mary Bono put the kind of effort she does ensuring that her office is the most beautiful on Capital Hill into reconsidering the suffering of her constituents and questioning her motives for turning her back on the amendment in the first place, we might not be so anxious to call for an end to her career in public service, Marie Antoinette-style.
