Loser Legalization of Marijuana

 The pieces were falling together for the effort to pass legislation to legalize marijuana in Rhode Island. Speaker Fox was a social progressive. Judiciary Committee Chair Edith Ajello, who may lose her post in the power shift, was the legislation's sponsor and in command of the key committee.
In addition, Governor Lincoln Chafee has voiced support for the idea.
 But, a shift to a more conservative Mattiello would throw a barrier in the way to a 2014 passage.

archer doesn't seem to be a lawyer, but wrote a very lawyerly brief in support of gun rights.
archer is the guy who filed a complaint against horowitz after horowitz distributed a flyer publicizing archer's arrest (not conviction) for stealing or defacing campaign signs.

update: archer won a gun rights lawsuit in 2002. good for him.
also led the 2007 recall of a city council member who was a dirty cop, a bagman for bribes and got immunity for ratting the bribee. r.i politics seem interesting.
