    The Tenth Amendment states

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

    So there are a fair amount of domestic affairs that California can take care of on its own. So Newsom cannot stop Project 2025, but he can make plans so that California citizens are not quite so adversely affected when certain administrative departments go poof.

    Expect liberal states to make a point of scrutinizing this clause and suing the Federal Government when they think it has overstepped its bounds.

      The GOP has the White House. And the Senate. And the House of Representatives. And the Supreme Court. The constitution says whatever they want it to say.

      And the MAGA administration and supreme court will just laugh in our faces. We’re toast, man.

      This is true and good. But with the Supreme Court in Trump’s pocket the results may not be great.
