he;s mostly just a BS artist and this only goes to prove it

States are prohibited from entering into any Treaty, Alliance, Confederation, Agreement or Compact
“No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation” U.S. Const. art. I, § 10, cl. 1
“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign power” U.S. Const. art. I, § 10, cl. 3
Read a novel about how the left coast split from the Union and formed an unholy alliance with the ChiComs.....Coming to fruition it seems. Hope that Californians are prepared to reap what they sow!
12 for me.
He probably misled public to think he can continue to regulate & collect carbon taxes program.

Someone should Photoshop his head on the Neville Chamberlain photo waving the paper pact he signed with Hitler and re-caption it, “I bring you Bull$hit in our time.”
