I really want to know who the 6 and 5 are, respectively

The Republicans who voted for the bill are Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, the bill's co-sponsor, as well as Reps. Brian Mast of Florida, Tom McClintock of California, Denver Riggleman of Virginia and Don Young of Alaska. The Democrats against were Reps. Cheri Bustos and Dan Lipinski of Illinois, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, Chris Pappas of New Hampshire and Collin Peterson of Minnesota.

The House of Representatives has approved legislation that would decriminalize marijuana and seek to "address the devastating injustices caused by the War on Drugs."

 

Cuellar has always sucked on this issue.

So what does this mean for my brother, who's had to deal with probation and jail time for marijuana use?  I assume nothing.  I don't have high hopes.

 

Well it definitely doesn't mean anything until it's actually signed into law.

Is his conviction from a state or is it federal?  Does this bill even do anything about state convictions?

The fact that the terminology is Green New Deal instead of New Green Deal always irks me. I get it's based on the New Deal but New Green Deal works too and doesn't sound as weird! Well, I guess it's less accurate since there was no Green Deal, but whatever! New (Green) Deal then!

Bruh New Green Deal sounds way more awkward.

Only because you've been hearing "Green New Deal" your whole life. Since when do we put "new" in the middle? Only exception I can think of is "brand new."

 

Think of it another way... I got a new green car vs I got a green new car!

Nothing. It needs to become law, and even then states can still prohibit cannabis. The bill would certainly encourage states to legalize and wipe away past convictions, but it does not force states to do anything.


The good news for your brother is eventually he will probably be able to get his record wiped away, but it depends on when his state decides to have more rational laws.
