A federal Judge today threw out Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer’s case against her own state’s medical marijuana law, a law that was approved by the voters. Governor Brewer filed the complaint in May to seek a judgement from the feds on whether they would prosecute state employees with drug crimes for administering the states new medial marijuana program. Brewer and the State Attorney General, Tom Horne says they were reacting to a letter from the former Arizona US attorney who made the suggestion.

Yesterday, US. District Court Judge Susan Bolton dismissed the complaint, but did so without prejudice, a legal term that wouldn’t bar the plaintiff from filing a case on the same matter in the future. Her ruling says that enforcement actions by federal officials do not pose a genuine threat to state officials implementing the law. She said that Brewer and Horne were unable to show any action against any state employees either imminent or threatened.
