A Conservative with a libertarian streak splits from the Social Conservatives

From Eric Dondero:

Montana is the only State in the Nation considering a repeal of previously passed Medical Marijuana reform. Running against the grain of the MT GOP's typical libertarian streak, a dissapointedly high number of Republican legislators back the repeal.

But one Republican on the judiciary committee which oversees the repeal legislation is speaking out.

Democrats largely oppose repeal, arguing that lawmakers should not undo a voter-approved initiative.

Several Republicans in the GOP-controlled Senate agree.

"I am not going to support the repeal," said Republican Sen. Chas Vincent, a 33-year-old former logger who holds a key vote in the judiciary committee. "I believe that cannabis has real, beneficial impacts to those who need to use it for medicine."

Democrat Gov. Schweitzer is not commiting himself one way or the other on the issue.
