Somebody please flush California.
LLS
so now we’ll just go back to cutting down trees to make shopping bags.....good one!
Finally, someone is taking on the serious life threatening issues our country faces!
California, always in the lead....
Good thing the important issues are being addressed.
The liberals are insane... first they bar cutting down trees, then they bar oil drilling, then they bar plastic bags distribution, and NOW they are BACK to forcing us to cut down trees to make shopping bags...next they will arrest all of us who use paper bags due to the ban of plastic bags. Wow, what a bunch of idiots and insane fools.
No plastic bags? Then chop down some trees to make paper bags! Everyone knows that chopping down trees has no effect on the environment.
ok.. no plastic bags.
only paper ones.
now, which trees to cut down next...
studies have shown that canvas bags and shopping carts
have lots of bacteria.
78% of carts have fecal matter, from babies.
That just might become a precedent that the left comes to regret.
The same jerks who are tying to ban plastic are the ones who forced plastic onto us in the first place. Paper bags were bad, bad, bad, plastic bags were good, good, good. Now plastic is bad. Unintended consequences, happens every time liberals push their silly a**ed green agendas.
So do they have glass bottles for the milk? Oh, I forgot, cows aren’t allowed in California any more. If I lived in California I would buy my groceries in one of the states to the east. Take some styrofoam coolers along and buy enough to last at least two weeks - make it a family trip.
A couple of years ago when traveling on AMTRAK I saw huge amounts of plastic shopping bags hung up in trees mostly in eastern Montana and North Dakota where it’s pretty windy most of the time. These are the bags those environmental weenies wanted us to use instead of cutting down trees for paper bags. Now CA wants to go back to cutting down trees for paper bags. Brilliant.
first they banned paper in favor of plastic.
now they ban plastic in favor of paper.
orwell is laughing.
While I agree with all of the above sentiments about the nutcases in California and I do not support this law, I do though agree with Court on this decision as to what I know of this case.
Representatives of the people do not need the support of scientists or any other specialists in order to make law. The Court did the right thing in this case by striking down a ruling that seemed to claim that the only way such a law could be made is if a scientific study was first done that agreed with their position.
It reminds me of the other Supreme Court case whereas Scalia decided that there was not enough evidence of violence in video games being harmful to children. What right does Scalia have to cast any opinion on the scientific merits of the law?? Is Scalia a scientist?
It is not up to judges to decide whether a law is a good law or a bad law but just to rule on the legality within the Constitution framework involved (State and Federal). It is up to the people to decide whether or not the laws made by our representatives are either good laws or bad laws and then either re-elect or vote them out and demand the law changed.
We should all marvel at this moment. The state found an instance where an EIR is NOT required? Behold for its like shall not be seen again!
