Senate: Stop enforcing our laws

Hopefully this won't survive the House:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. customs and border security agents would be banned from seizing prescription drugs that Americans import from Canada under a measure passed by the Senate on Tuesday.

The Senate voted 68-32 in favor of the provision, with supporters saying the federal government should stay out of the way of Americans seeking cheaper medicines in Canada for personal use. Many Americans import prescription drugs from abroad even though the practice is illegal.

I understand the emotional side to the argument. But Canada isn't the answer to drug costs. And ordering law enforcement to ignore the law is just plain stupid.

If this survives, expect Canada to crack down from their side. "Cheap" drugs will be no more available than before, and we'll have busloads of seniors going to Canada not for drugs, but for their court dates.
