Do you want a civil war?

A case by case basis. The maximum for a juvenile is never as severe as an adult. Sometimes character witnessing comes into play in these situations. You can't just let the young pushers off the hook or else you wont be able to break the chain. Expunging records at a certain age or length of time is an option.

 

Why not? Most conservatives like to lie about liberals in an effort to demonize them.

 

Really? The most egregious example I can think of in modern history of an attempt to overthrow States' rights came from Trump. He wanted Pence to overthrow the EC votes of several states and/or to just kick the issue to the House and ignore the EC altogether. I can't think of ANYTHING the left has done in the past few decades that rises to that level.

 

We could just turn the power off for like a week.

 

You must not remember the election of 2016 and leftists screeching for the EC to vote for Hillary.
