Too many legislators mistakenly believe the government’s role of “instituting a system of justice” authorizes or compels them to pass laws to “protect people from themselves.”
Some feel the bill of rights is redundant; the 9th and 10th amendments doubly so.
But if I could add another amdt in the spirit of the 9th and 10th, it would be:
The right of people to do things to themselves which some consider stupid shall not be infringed.

These tweets were motivated by discussions I’ve been having with other legislators about medical marijuana in KY. Legislators shouldn’t be called to decide whether MM is good or bad (or efficacious), but rather whether someone should have the right to decide that for themselves.
