No, it isn't the "next step", this is the problem right now. California will not allow imports into their state from states that do not comport with their regulations. That's why they are freaking out right now. So Iowa for example, can't ship eggs or bacon into the state of California as soon as the California law kicks in. It is a huge market, and while dairymen and ranchers, hog farmers can likely find a market for their product the point here is that it is completely unconstitutional. The states can't bind other states or inhibit free trade.

Thx.

Apparently they can. For decades California has done so regarding so-called air quality, which is one big reason the US auto industry wound up in the shape it’s in.
