In the Supreme Court of the United States STATE OF FLORIDA, Plaintiff, v. STATE OF CALIFORNIA and STATE OF WASHINGTON, Defendants.

BILL OF COMPLAINT The State of Florida, by and through its Attorney General, James Uthmeier, brings this suit against Defendants, the State of California and the State of Washington, and for its claims for relief states: 1. California’s and Washington’s open defiance of federal immigration laws is well-documented. Both States routinely frustrate and hinder federal law enforcement from addressing the immigration crisis and the destruction that accompanies it. 2. As relevant here, this resistance includes failing to honor the federal safety regulations regarding the commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) needed to operate eighteen-wheelers and other commercial motor vehicles. Federal law requires that States issuing CDLs abide by relevant safety and immigration status standards. California and Washington, however, chose to ignore these standards and authorize illegal immigrants without proper training or the ability to read road signs to drive commercial motor vehicles. California’s and

Interesting!

Too lazy to read the article - where’d they file this and with what court?

[Blueflag]

OK then “In the Supreme Court of the United States”

nice move.

[struggle]

Should be interesting if the Supreme Court forces Cali and Wash to enforce both federal immigration enforcement AND DOT standards for all drivers.

For disputes between the states, the court of first jurisdiction is the Supreme Court.

Very strong Constitutional standing as well, since deliberate actions (argued as unlawful) resulted in inter-state deaths -

“The result is mayhem in other States—States
that choose to follow federal law and enforce CDL
safety standards. Florida is the most recent victim;
just a few weeks ago, an illegal immigrant—licensed
by both Washington and California—attempted a
reckless U-turn across a busy Florida highway in an
eighteen-wheeler. That U-turn ignored the multiple
road signs warning against such action, but the alien
was later proven unable to speak or read English. The
result was three fatalities and a flurry of costly pre-
ventative measures by Florida to limit the dangerous
and improperly licensed drivers from threatening its
roads and its citizens.

I know, I finally read the filing ;-)

Thank you, Florida. Hopefully, we’ll get something done.

Should be interesting if the Supreme Court forces Cali and Wash to enforce both federal immigration enforcement AND DOT standards for all drivers.

SCOTUS declared that it's original jurisdiction to hear cases between states is discretionary in Texas v. Pennsylvania about the 2020 Big Steal. They may easy decline to hear this case as well.

[SGCOS]

at florida , and other states' weigh stations: program a portable road sign to say: "STOP. Move forward 20 feet and deploy right blinker".

or something similar. non-compliance is grounds for confiscation of driver and equipment. Next truck please. It's a start.

[delchiante]

And that’s where the Supreme Coup Court punted on the stolen election of 2020.

Even the headline is your friend in this instance

Make America Florida!

[dforest]

States that like illegal immigration, and protect illegals, should also be held accountable when an illegal from their state crosses into another state and commits a crime.

If they want illegals, keep them in your state, or else.

[Blueflag]

HAHA. True ;-)

Reading is fundamental, eh?

Just trying to stay true to tradition here and post before reading.

SCOTUS declared that it's original jurisdiction to hear cases between states is discretionary in Texas v. Pennsylvania about the 2020 Big Steal.

Which is pretty amazing that they were able to pull it off considering the text in the constitution.

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;— between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

It brings in to the glaring light how lawyers willing to accept the huge responsibility of appointment to the office of Supreme Court Justice can still be cowards.

This makes you respect the Taney Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, these men could have declined to here the case and their place in history would have been very different.

[MCSETots]

Probably all for naught.

The “sanctuary” cities, counties and states (not to mention the Biden administration as a whole) repeatedly flaunted federal laws, the Constitution and previous SCOTUS rulings. They all have to remain sovereign and ignore any actions taken against the to “protect democracy” from the DJT administration.

And, of course, they’ll every liberal politician, activist and all manners of media in full and open support . . .

[Tell It Right]

Another way to handle it is through the 1940's case Wickard vs Filburn -- the infamous case in which SCOTUS decided that a farmer growing wheat for his own and his livestock's consumption counted as "interstate commerce" and, therefore, fell under federal regulation.

I can't think of anything more indicative of "interstate commerce" than truckers carrying cargo across state lines using CDL's granted from other states. This gives Trump in the federal govt, by the logic of Wickard, the authority to drop the hammer at least on CDL licensing.

[Carl Vehse]

If the SCOTUS decides in favor of Florida, the USDOJ then should prepare arrest warrants for California and Washington state officials, including the governors, on the charge of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
