The States’ Attorneys General did not file a federal lawsuit against the San Francisco ordinance; they filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit filed by various parties who, presumably, actually have standing to bring the action (unlike the Attorneys General).

Your response beat mine. You have that exactly right - unlike the reporter.

Thanks for the information.

I was just going to post a question asking how a state would go about suing an out-of-state city over one of that city’s laws.

That is an horrible article. Even as leftist as it has always been, the WaPo at least USED to have writers who were not complete imbeciles.
