It is a tax proposed across state lines, so it is a federal issue. The poor people in New Jersey who work in New York have no representation there. Biden changed the law just before he left office. So Hochul is suing because she doesn’t want the Feds involved.

No it is not, if people CHOOSE to cross sovereign state lines that is on them. As for the commerce clause are you a conservative really going to use the much abused commerce cause because remember that when the same fed tramples all over your state rights and law making ability say for gun rights. How about Texas silencer law where the feds used the commerce cause to void the law where if a suppressor was made in Texas, by Texans for Texans only then it was legal and not an NFA item. Yeah that commerce clause.

Do you live in NYC? Have you ever lived there if not then you have exactly zero say in how the sovereign state of New York runs their cities or roads. This is a clear tenth amendment case and NYS should win it unless the Supremes use the damn commerce clause again to bash states rights. No conservative EVER should support using that damn clause for anything othere than actual goods moved across lines and it was to keep the states from tariffs on each other not to empower the fed to override every aspect of the economy and laws just because a person or good crosses state lines. The hypocrisy is my numbing.
