My reaction when first hearing about the governor's actions was, "Uh, Supremacy Clause, anyone?" I just don't see how we could think state law supersedes federal law.
I also think it's highly ironic given that California regularly flouts federal law in things like immigration (sanctuary cities).
As soon as I read the text about a state bill telling Federal agents how to do their jobs I knew it was virtue signaling by Newsom. The tragedy here is the state did something it had to, HAD TO know was illegal and did it anyway. There is no way that bill's legal status wasn't brought up before the vote. For CA to draft, nominate, vote, pass, and sign an illegal bill into law shows a level of stupidity impressive by modern standards. They had to know this was illegal and did it anyway.
If Republicans don't trot this out and make that point every single day then they are missing a golden opportunity and show how badly they are being led, if led at all.
