Court Seeks Reply on Anti-Drug Efforts
May 8, 2004
Las Vegas Review-Journal
The Supreme Court on Friday gave the secretary of state 30 days to respond to a marijuana advocacy group's demand that a federal anti-drug official be required to provide expense information spent lobbying against a state pot initiative.
The Washington, D.C.,-based Marijuana Policy Project has asked the court to require Heller to collect the campaign spending information from drug czar John Walters.
In January 2003, an attorney for Walters said he is immune from Nevada election laws "as a federal official acting within the scope of duties, including speaking out about the dangers of illegal drugs."
