Stonersloth 2015 nearing the end » Justice Department urges Supreme Court to throw out Nebraska/Oklahoma lawsuit Thanks to Tom Angell for the info: This is regarding the lawsuit against Colorado by those states, because they feel harmed by the cost of having to arrest people in their own states for possessing marijuana. Brief for the United States as Amicus Curiae The motion for leave to file a bill of complaint should be denied because this is not an appropriate case for the exercise of this Court’s original jurisdic-tion. Entertaining the type of dispute at issue here—essentially that one State’s laws make it more likely that third parties will violate federal and state law in another State—would represent a substantial and unwarranted expansion of this Court’s original jurisdiction. Well said.
