Nobody is "forcing" anything, here. Obviously.
California has substantial market power. It is entirely within its rights to dictate how things will be done within California. If that means that some companies then feel some financial inventive to do it that way in general because it's easier, then that's just too bad.
- golemotron 4y agoBrush up on the history of the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. It's likely that it will be in the news when SCOTUS considers the pork case next year.
- Bud 4y agoBrush up on California's emission standards for cars. And the history of its standards for gasoline. BTW, arguing that the current joke of a SCOTUS might rule against California isn't a real argument.
- golemotron 4y agoBe careful what you wish for. Extra-territoriality is a useful concept for Blue states defending themselves from commercial effects of laws passed in Red states too. You can have federalism while being a good neighbor.
