Newsom Moves Quickly to Counter Trump in California
Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Legislature back to the Capitol for a special session to bolster civil liberties, reproductive rights and environmental protections.
You're viewing a single thread.
Newsome can do whatever he wants, but aside from seceding, there isn't anything to stop P2025 now.
Except California has the 5th largest economy in the world. Good luck running the U.S. without their tax dollars.
That is secession. You're trying to push a different agenda here.
Not pushing anything. They've threatened to stop paying taxes before. Look it up.
A threat is way different.
It's crazy how often Lucy can yank that football away from you chumps.
Wow, your comment history is wild dude...just had to have a look.
The problem with the incoming fascist reality is that people like you think acknowledging that reality is "wild"
The Tenth Amendment states

So there are a fair amount of domestic affairs that California can take care of on its own. So Newsom cannot stop Project 2025, but he can make plans so that California citizens are not quite so adversely affected when certain administrative departments go poof.
Expect liberal states to make a point of scrutinizing this clause and suing the Federal Government when they think it has overstepped its bounds.
And the MAGA administration and supreme court will just laugh in our faces. We're toast, man.
The GOP has the White House. And the Senate. And the House of Representatives. And the Supreme Court. The constitution says whatever they want it to say.
This is true and good. But with the Supreme Court in Trump's pocket the results may not be great.

I'd support a threat of secession.
Great.
