so the Feds withhold money from them for committing a crime, and their response it committing another crime... typical RAT mentality

With secession threats looming, the state of California is reportedly studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.
With California counties among the Top 10 who stand to lose tax-payer funding for providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants...
KPIX5 reports that officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.
The federal funds pay for a variety of state and local programs from law enforcement to homeless shelters.

It the bleeding obvious...for those of us who have more than 3 working brain cells.
“It works both ways”
No. It doesn’t.
As were reminded by the `We Won’ folks almost every day, federal law preempts state law.
They don’t have to like it. That’s the way it is.
The 16th Amendment should be on their radar for repeal.

If Cali can do that to DC then Jefferson can do that to Sacramento.
“I believe that YUGE federally owned dam outside Vegas has a water shut off valve and an electrical cut off switch.”
Yeah, they can find out how much all that “green energy” is really worth.
Cool. Oh, man, I’m loving this. Cut, baby, cut. From both ends.
The POTUS can also federalize huge areas of land currently in the state of CA.
Arizona v. The United States.
Arizona wanted to protect themselves from illegals - SCOTUS (the Feds) said, Nope! That’s OUR job.
I truly believe we’re going to finally SEE Mother Government DOING HER JOB.
Screw you, CA Socialists. And G-d Bless and PROTECT the CA Conservatives!
Tee it up California @holes.
I say ARREST JERRY BROWN, the sooner the better. We don’t need his liberal crap any more. If all goes down as expected Mexico may want to build a wall to keep Californians out.

To the contrary of what you posted, the Rats can’t have it both ways.
I just moved to California from the South. Does this mean I get to unpack the Stars and Bars from my trunk??
Negotiate with California with the covert aim of re-establishing the proper federal relationship of the states. Let them have all of their liberal laws under a clarified version of federalism.
Then offer it to all the other states.
You’re welcome.
(I’m beginning to get the hang of negotiating after watching the master for so long, doncha think?)
I’m sure the IRS could teach California a few things about freezing accounts for non payment of taxes.
Trump should start his 2020 campaign in California right now.
If the US was able to cut off the massive amounts of WELFARE we Californians dole out to Mexican and other leeches, they would go away and the problem would solve itself.
(Not cool with secession, but cool if California wants to cut off funds to the feds).
Well, maybe at least the Bonnie Blue Flag!
