As tensions escalate between California and the Trump administration over immigration, another potential battlefront is emerging over taxes.
The spat began with reports that the Trump administration is considering cutting funding for California’s university system, the largest higher education system in the nation with about 12% of all U.S. enrolled students.
In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote Friday afternoon in a social media post that California provides about $80 billion more in taxes to the federal government than it receives in return.
“Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump,” Newsom said.
The law is only unconstitutional if you have a right that the state law takes away.
You have the right as guaranteed by the second amendment and the supremacy clause. I’m not sure what you don’t understand about how the constitution works.
And that is exactly what we are talking about.
This is, “Mah rights!” nonsense. The right isn’t absolute. You have the right but that right is regulated by state law. None of your rights are absolute. Call the White House and tell them you’re going to kill the president and see how far your free speech rights go.
NOTE: Dear fascist brown shirts, that was NOT a threat but a reductio ad absurdum example. Get a brain.
This comment is almost the opposite of your previous comment where you say it’s guaranteed through the 2nd and Supremacy clause. Now you’re basically saying state law overrides the constitution.
No. I’m saying that for the law to be unconstitutional at you say you must have the right to own a gun.
Yes. In theory you have a right to own a gun.
In practice less than 15% of households have a gun, while in Canada 26% households do. It’s arguably easier to get a gun in Canada, even without said “right”
82% of Canadians support stronger gun laws. 84% of Massachusetts residents support stronger gun laws.
Or that.
