So in this case, they're passing a state law that attempts to trump federal law. And these conservative assholes think that should stick as a state's rights issue.

But, when we in California wanted to tackle greenhouse gas emissions for our state, those same conservatives beat us over the head with the Constitution's supremacy clause, and they won.

It's fucking infuriating. How they win elections with this whacked-out inconsistency is beyond me.
