don't think the Constitution makes an exception for pollution.

Primarily the Commerce Clause:

Some pollution sources, such as automobiles and ships, move in interstate commerce; other sources manufacture products that do so; pollution affects such mainstays of interstate commerce as agricultural commodities, livestock, and many raw materials; pollutants themselves can be seen as products, or at least byproducts, moving "in commerce" across state lines.

But also other parts: Federal lands in states that can be impacted by pollution open the door for federal supremacy as well. Treaties. Congress has supremacy rights over rivers, etc.

Only California can get a waiver from the EPA. And got three of them for their zero emissions crap. Also, states can then demand to have those California waivers apply to them too. 18 have done just that. And not via their legislative processes, either. EPA can't stop that from happening, either.

Zero Emission cars don't just involve differing catalytic converters on the same car. This is the entire engine, transmission system and fuel system replaced. This is enough to force California vehicle manufacturing rules nation wide because most car manufacturers will simply choose to build & sell zero emission cars, period.

This was the plan by the Left all along. So much for 'States Rights' or even Congress voting on this shit. Quite the opposite.

Congress simply is now using its power under the CRA to override these waivers of federal regulation by the EPA.

A pro State's Rights argument would be to force CARB's bullshit to only impact vehicle manufacturing IN California. All the car manufacturers bailed on CA long ago except the EV ones, anyway. But it wouldn't fuck over Texan car buyers like this EPA shit - should it be allowed to stand - would do.

I don't think FL has much of an illegal issue from my visits. Not as bad as other places. Border states obviously. For whatever reason Chicago is a big one. 2nd biggest GDP market is Little Village in the city, basically Mexican.

Haven't searched for it in years, but it was 2nd to the Mag mile and Navy Pier area. Wrigley area might be above them now with updating the area. I was kind of shocked. http://www.lvejo.org/little-village-economic-and-public-health-analysis/#:~:text=The%20Little%20Village%20economy%20also,vending%2C%20house%20repairs%2C%20etc.

You got Pilsen to the Northeast as well. Basically a line just north of I-55 full of Mexicans. No clue if they're legal or not.

Every electronic device sold to us from China has a spying or sabotage function included.

Maybe they should have worried about that before they became election fraudsters, treasonistas, and subversives to the Republic/ criminal elements working as non uniformed enemy combatants.

It's TesticleGate! Shattered testicles of mostly peaceful demonstrators crowding emergency rooms, innocent victims of the Trump castration plot against the People. Those rubber bullets are sure accurate, and they have guidance that sends them right to the crotch. Aren't the Tranny Army grateful that they will finally be de-bagged, and the fat lesbos happy that a projectile has penetrated their folds to load their vag with hot rubber?

Why cry about it? A link is better. I asked perplexity right after I made the "Link" comment and perplexity confirmed the story. Effective, I think, June 25th.

Btw, Booger didn't cry about it.

It's amazing how much services that a fraction of the disposable income of a farm worker subject to sales tax can support. Apparently we can pretty much do away with the IRS for US citizens then

Below is a statement released by Newsom on Wednesday:

"Trump wants to hand China the future and abandon the Central Valley. We won’t let him. With projects like the Texas high-speed rail failing to take off, we are miles ahead of others. We’re now in the track-laying phase and building America’s only high-speed rail. California is putting all options on the table to fight this illegal action."
