If, as the OP suggests, the administration is not re-scheduling THC but has the authority to do so unilaterally, again, as the OP suggests, then what's your explanation? Why would the AG demand that Congress act first if the change could be made unilaterally by the AG?

My theory is cowardice. What's yours?
