They’re going to take on California. If they can pack the Federal bench with enough conservative judges, they just might win.

- aaronblohowiak 9y agoAbuse of interstate commerce clause has led to this abominable overreach of the federal government where states can’t self-rule in terms of setting more strict laws. As long as the fourteenth is followed, the fed government can gtfo.
- stevenwoo 9y agoThey only need one more seat to change hands on the Supreme Court then they choose a case in the friendliest or most split appeals circuit court. Pretty much anything would be open for interpretation again, it's the Federalist Society dream opportunity.
- tankerdude 9y agoThey don’t have to. The EPA has final word and CA has been filing an exemption that the EPA has said yes to until this bozo came into office. My dislike of the guy in Washington has been very high the last ~1.2 years.
- Gibbon1 9y agoCalifornia could just impose a carbon tax on the sale of cars and trucks calculated based on mileage. Truck gets 15mpg. Expected life 200,000 miles. That's 13,333 gallons of gasoline, or 20 lbs Co2/gal * 13,333 /2000 lbs/ton = 133 tons of CO2. Say $50 per ton X 130 tones -> $6600 carbon tax. Do the same thing with NOX emissions. Bump it high enough that a non hybrid will cost an extra $5000.
