No way this nonsense survives SCOTUS. Newsom is an oily menace.

This SCOTUS. In a decade the answer may be very different, and it may take that long for this to wind its way there. Nothing is as dangerous as authoritarians on a "moral" mission to save us from ourselves.

Maybe...but by then it's too late. They'll just find a way like water around stones.

Similar to how the 5 eyes allows the feds to circumvent the constitution so they can spie on us "indirectly"...or through NGO cut-outs

It's interesting how widely the federal ability to regulate interstate commerce is able to be interpreted, or the civil rights laws, while at the same time how narrowly the protection form unreasonable search and seizure or domestic surveillance.

Arguably the root of most Federal evil was the 1942 case of Wickard v. Filburn, which essentially granted the Feds unlimited regulatory power that has since been used to expand it over all aspects of life.

If it were to be overturned, it would be a huge step towards restoring our liberty.

Sadly, I won't be holding my breath.

The government does not rule against itself because we refuse to withdrawal our consent.

What if we all reposted the very last, very excellent video in el Gato's post, and had them taken down...would we all then have standing to make a class action that could eventually go to SCOTUS? And get Robert Barnes to represent us!
