Thank you for confirming it’s about the money!
Good luck making Uncle Sam write that check!
A grant is a gift.
They are suing bc they are not getting a gift.

Start stopping gifts to other nations. Let them ask the Ruskies or Peking so they
can go bankrupt.
I could have sworn, when I was in high school (and that’s partly why I can’t remember for certain - it was a while ago) that we studied a Supreme Court ruling over something very, very similar.
Basically, the Supreme Court ruled that if you wanted to the dance, you had to dance to the music chosen by the man who paid the band!! In other words, if you want Federal funds, you have to follow the rules which the Feds create!!
Did this Supreme Court ruling change all of a sudden?!? I’m always curious how these old Supreme Court rulings aren’t used to stop wasting precious resources and time in Federal courts!!?!!
To Hell with secession, just expel California from the Union.
SCOTUS has the only jurisdiction when a state sues the Federal Government. It has Original Jurisdiction and therefore the only jurisdiction, per USConstitution.
No other court may lawfully hear the case.
The aim is to tie up these fed funds in a bunch of court cases. Where the lower courts rule in the suplicants favor and evenmtially winds up at SCOTUS.
If that goes to the citys and states favor. Fed funds which have long cords attached to them like the highway bill which mandates a state must maintain a point 8 alcohol driving limit might get tossed.
Very likely that won’t happen. What these cities like Chicago, Frisco, and Kalyforny are actually doing is rewarding donor lawyers for their support.
