FWIW, the person that proposed this legislation is 47: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Bauer-Kahan

I’d bet you were thinking of the name James Comey, director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017, who was recently in the news for retaliatory prosecution against him.

As much as he’s an absolute piece of shit, he actually voted against this provision: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/11/10/congress/senators-reject-pauls-hemp-plans-00646064

Of course in the end he still voted for the final “clean” (not so clean, as it turns out) continuing resolution, so it’s not like he’s very principled about it. But it’s not nothing, I suppose, that he even feels comfortable speaking out in this way. Says a lot about how the winds have changed on cannabis.
