This is precisely why there is an Interstate Commerce Clause in the Constitution.

California may try...

Good luck with that.

Any government official involved can be arrested and tried under interstate commerce clauses.

Dems call a “constitutional crisis” if someone poots.

This one is simple: Interfere with interstate commerce and go to jail.

Somehow I don't think the leadership in California would find that a problem.

California is a free and independent people’s democratic republic, unencumbered by any adherence to a racist American Constitution, and can do whatever it wants to further the revolution and fight the enemies of the peoples of California.

(They are a bit revolutionary there.)

IMHO

Correct. No appeal to the so-called Supremacy Clause is necessary; the article is written by an ignoramus. California is not permitted to regulate interstate commerce in any way, shape, manner, or form. Only the Federal government has that authority. The Commerce Clause exists for precisely the (bad) reasons cited by California for its “justification.”

El wrongo. Any state that joins the union must adhere to the constitution and the premise that federal law reigns supreme. If cal ignores federal law it might as well bring back slavery.

You’re probably right. What if they argue that the source of the oil is the Pacific Ocean and not another state? Or that, if the well in on the California offshore shelf, it is intrastate?
