Why does this always happen after they leave office?

The federal government should legalize marijuana, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens told NPR’s Scott Simpson on Thursday. The 94-year-old former justice compared federal laws prohibiting marijuana to alcohol prohibition in the 1920s and early 1930s.

I mean, I know that pot advocates should be happy that a former Supreme Court justice took a stand on legalizing marijuana. But you know what's better than a former Supreme Court justice talking about how pot should be legal? A fucking current Supreme Court justice talking about how pot should be legal.
