In reply to the discussion: Speaker Johnson vows to fight California Democrats' 'illegal power grab' [View all]Eliot Rosewater
(33,745 posts)9. Thank you, then I think we can assume
Someone will file a lawsuit against what the governor in California is doing and the people of California and depending on the court it will be upheld or not and if it is it will be appealed to the Supreme Court and guess what theyll do.
Im assuming this is something that could go to court and we certainly understand by now that this Supreme Court has no intention of abiding by the law or the Constitution. Yes they will rule that Texas can do it and California cannot. They will just make up an excuse.

Well CA is in the 9th Circuit, which is majority (D) (although now closer to an even split now)

What Texas did was LEGAL. If California did the same exact thing, it would be ILLEGAL.
