cma's question was to me, after my comment, not to you. You are inserting your interruption into that. You argued that cma's question had a very particular interruption, sort of speaking for them, let them speak for themselves, or at least I am not interested in dissecting their comment's meaning with you. edit or maybe a better way to put it is that I can not have a conversation with you when you seem to be trying t…

Thanks. I don't really see how that applies, but I welcome us diving into your dissection so that we can clear up any misunderstandings and to learn from it for the sake of the future.

It's crazy to me that TikTok is still operating. A law was passed, the supreme court even weighed in, and a EO cannot undo that. The president has an obligation to faithfully execute the law.

The law provided for a a 90-day extension on the deadline at the President's discretion. However, the extension required certain things to be true (significant progress made on the divestiture, legally binding contracts in place, and so on) -- so I'd agree that this wasn't faithful execution of the law.

I am also going to acknowledge that the new executive order filed on 4/4 is clearly a violation of the law. Or, I suppose, completely meaningless, depending on how you look it.

Not an apples to apples comparison. Marijuana laws are about States making(edit typo) laws to legalize something the federal government has laws against. That can be settled if it goes to the supreme court. This situation is about the federal government not following the laws it sets for itself.

> Not an apples to apples comparison. The previous comment does not make a comparison. It questioned if anyone has pursued the federal government for not following through with cannabis enforcement, contrary to the expectations of the law, and wanted to know more about the outcome if so. But maybe this is your roundabout way of saying "no"?

The answer seems to be Obama deprioritized enforcement and didn't announce he wouldn't enforce.
