California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said the federal government should let recently passed marijuana legalization laws stand in Colorado and Washington.

"It's time for the Justice Department to recognize the sovereignty of the states," Brown said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union. "I believe the president and the Department of Justice ought to respect the will of these states."
