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!”
I thought the same thing. Maybe he’s testing people about the real boundaries of the executive. Seems we all agree there’s been too much power (or too much of the wrong power) taken up by the executive branch.
X rights are the most important as they are the true limits set for fedgov.
Both POTUS are wrong on this, potato head didn’t need an EO he should have said if congress wants to stop states from congestion charges pass a law and I will sign it under the supremacy clause. Then the Supremes can chime in if congress had the power in the first place. The tenth is pretty clear what is not enumerated to feds is reserved for the states or the people.
