GOP plan would make allergy drug law go national

Requiring a prescription for over-the-counter pseudoephedrine allergy drugs hasn't been effective at fighting meth in the states where it's been tried. So naturally, Republicans now want to make it a federal law.

Far-right Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) is demanding federal legislation to make these drugs available by prescription only. He's holding hearings to promote this useless idea.

(Similar efforts in recent years have been a bipartisan scourge, though the Republicans have always been much more supportive of it. This is particularly gnawing in light of the GOP's lies about being for limited government.)

Now do you know why I support the Tenth Amendment (just like I support the rest of the Bill of Rights)?
