“It is a tax proposed across state lines, so it is a federal issue. “
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.
You can’t have it both ways. The Commerce Clause is used to justify the expenditure of federal dollars on roads, bridges, and public transit systems in New York. That being the case, what is the basis for any objection about that same Commerce Clause being used to scrutinize and regulate HOW those federal dollars are spent?
I just repeated what the newscast said was the reason for the lawsuit. I can see you are very passionate about the issue and you should post some articles educating us not in NYC or NYS.
Here is the article that I read: https://nypost.com/2025/02/19/opinion/hooray-trump-amp-co-is-saving-working-class-drivers-from-kathy-hochuls-elitist-midtown-tolls/
Does that jive with your thoughts?
Just wow. These laws were set up so someone who wants to travel to a state on the other side of one they're passing through, doesn't get toll-raped to do so.
Let's see all the towns around you charge "congestion pricing" tolls so that you have to pay them each day, in addition to the taxes you already pay for the roads. Let the charge $100 per day.
