SCENE: \u00a0Mitch BERG is having a shish kebab at a Turkish restaurant. \u00a0Avery LIBRELLE walks in, starts to order, and then notices BERG.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Hey, Merg! \u00a0It’s time for Minnesota to legalize marijuana.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0There’s a case to be made. \u00a0But there’s the little matter of the federal law involved.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Screw federal law!<\/p>\n

BERG: Right. \u00a0Sort of how Saint Paul says “screw federal law” by being a sanctuary city?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 Exactly. What do the feds know that the states, the laboratories of government, don’t?<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Well, yeah. You’re a real paragon of federalism.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Them founders knew they’re\u00a0stuff.<\/p>\n

BERG: You realize you misspelled “their”, even in your speaking voice?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Huh?<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Never mind. \u00a0So – the states that are cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, because every single one of their non-abortion services is provided by other sources,a nd for cheaper…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0AAAAAAAAAAH! \u00a0(Jumps up from table in a position to repel an attack<\/em>)<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0What?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0You can’t!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Why?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Federal law is sacrosanct!<\/p>\n
