Sounds like they should stop sending the federal government their revenue. California sends more than they receive. Spend it on the same programs directly instead, no change for those programs or Californians.
Trump isn't used to not having any leverage, so he just does the same shit all the time and it constantly backfires now because enough people recognize that.
Federal government taxes individuals and businesses. States legally can't stop the fed from taking taxes.
Sixteenth Amendment.
And Congress directs monetary spending, Article 1, Section 9, no Amendment necessary.
That's not stopping the President from trying to do whatever he wants with the money while Congress avoids doing their job.
Let the federal government sue and take it to the Supreme Court.
He is announcing it, so that way he can hear all the commentary to see what is going to happen because he has no clue. Total Taco move.
Pretty sure every university legal team in California just refined their filing for an emergency stay and suit against Trump for even thinking it. I'm curious if it will take less than an hour to get an injunction.
This will mostly hurt the red states that California dollars prop up.
