Normally, I could not be farther away from Vincent Carroll on most issues, but I had to applaud his outstanding column on the passage of Amendment 64. There are times when the federal government must bow to the will of the people of a state, and when the state government needs to defend the will of its people. The feds need to back off and let the state work out the details. Gov. John Hickenlooper and Attorney General John Suthers need to show some true leadership and stop sniveling to Washington.
