The Fed’s have no right,nor business in this matter. It is a state’s rights issue and the tenth amendment says they have no say. The hypocrisy of some people here is mind-blowing. They get all worked up when the feds step on their chosen to like rights in a state but want the same fed to step in when they don’t like something and want daddy fed to “do something”. They whine about the commerce clause and in the next breath when the feds uses the same commerce clause to limit say gun rights they scream bloody murder and thats a States right issue. You can’t have it both ways.
This is a clear NYS sovereignty issue they will win if it goes to federal and the Supreme Court. The tenth amendment is clear it’s written in English that a grade schooler can understand. The elected representatives passed a law and got it signed by the governor it’s not something the Fed’s can or should be involved with. Please show me in the enumerated powers of the constitution where the damn feds can not should tell a sovereign state how to manage it’s roads I’ll wait.

Trump is issuing this populist Executive Order to boost NY ratings for all NY Republicans. He will/might lose in court, but this is not a factor.
“The punishment is the (judicial) process”
Yours is a very interesting answer. Suppose Pres Trump is as brilliant as many MAGA folks believe and is adept at 4D chess. Maybe this decision is bait to get Dems to demand from SCOTUS their X Amendment rights be protected and they be allowed the congestion fee without federal interference. Once the Court rules it become precedent and a block to future federal interference and X Amendment violations. And it would be the Dems who brought aboutprotection for states rights. As Hochul said yesterday, “We are a nation of states!”
