because I thought the Administration was going to come after Washington and Colorado before their respective initiatives were fully implemented..It's as step forward, albeit a slight one, that at least publicly they're taking a wait and see approach. I do have concerns though. These US attorneys need to be reigned in. They're basically going rogue. I was under the impression Holder was their boss, but he sure doesn't act like it.
