Re: Hempfest

I don't know if they still do it but we, ummm... they would start with "speeches" near Memorial Union in the morning then march down State St. and have more "speeches" at the Capital lawn. It was an all day fun event.

1,000's of folks wanting to change the hemp laws because, as you know, it's the world's premier food source. (Yeah, a bunch of left over hippies and college stoners will really organize effectively enough to become a powerful P.A.C.) But hey, it was fun.

I bet I have some great memories somewhere in some long lost brain cells.

"Immunity from Arrest.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution recognized the fundamental necessity of protecting members of Congress from arbitrary arrest. While U.S. Constitution Article I, section 6 placed some restrictions on the police or justice to arrest or detain legislators during a legislative session, its protections did not apply to situations involving "treason, felony or breach of the peace." Most state constitutions contain similar provisions."

To me, this basically means that legislators can't be arrested (or detained) as a political tool to prevent them from doing thier work. Here, however, they have "arrested themselves" as a political to to keep from having to their work.

Any one else see the irony?
