What are they gonna go, send in the military?
Me, a Canadian enjoying the current season of 'America™': Please???
Shit dude, I'm a US citizen and want to see that as well.
The funniest part of it is that this 100% has the potential to set up some sort of precedent for when the shoe is on the other foot. Like, if the Supreme Court orders CA to do something extremely shitty or anti-democratic, what happens if Newsom (or whoever is governor at that point) and the CA legislature just says “make me”?
Does it ever though it always seems rep do what they want, Dems don't do shit
Dems don’t ever do shit when there’s no precedent.
But when the door’s already open, it’s easier to walk through it.
California has a history of "make me."
Economically, California is (at least was, I don't know if it still is) capable of sustaining itself separated from federal money. It even has the power to set national standards, like the "known to cause cancer" warning. Which may seem like it's slapped on everything, but from what I remember, its slapped on everything containing any carcinogens, covering products even after their lifespan into disposal (if you burn a product but it doesn't destroy the carcinogen it's still a risk since it's airborne or in waste.)
Alabama is just completely fucked if they get cutoff from federal money.
I did a road trip from Los Angeles to Florida about a decade ago to help my college roommate move for med school. I recall seeing multiple billboards driving through gulf coast states saying things like
And some of the states didn’t even have the “state funding” part.
I really would enjoy seeing these states find out what happens when you fuck around with the people who are buttering your bread.
It's Alabama. They're already there.
