Fine. No gas or oil shipments to CA period.
No electricity sold into CA that was generated by unapproved energy.
This is precisely why there is an Interstate Commerce Clause in the Constitution.
Good, then they can go back to horse and buggies but then the environmental impact of horse poop?
So, committing suicide or prepping for secession? Either is fine with me! Bye bye Cali!!!!!
Arrest the seditious blockaders. Crisis over.
Turn-out the lights....Starting in Sacramento
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.
They might when traffic comes to a stop!
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.”
Just tell all the Californians that they can only use Bicycles and see how much they want to keep you in office!
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?
CA views and conducts itself as a separate country.
