This is what California should have done but Gavin loves the theater all too much.
California did file a lawsuit, and won, though the ruling came too late to do much good.
Here's an NPR article and Newsom's press release on the outcome.
Well the good it did was set precedent for Oregon's case and any thereafter.
Clarence Thomas said today that any precedent can be ignored. He was specifically talking about his Supreme Court but I think his words resonate beyond that.
I stand corrected
California did sue
Gavin absolute does love the drama and being in the news too, though
Does this not count?
Edited: the commenter I was responding to was wrong, and I didn’t fact-check, either.
~~I agree, but~~ I can also see it from the “why bother” angle. If a federal lawsuit can get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, then Trump will almost certainly win anyway. Theater is much cheaper and quicker.
~~Again, though, you’re right.~~
No, they are not. There was a lawsuit. They just made a post without actually doing any work to validate their claims in hopes nobody else would either. It was a lazy shitpost.
Thank you for the clarification
