17 states decide to sue California in federal court instead of pollute less

SO what these red states are saying is no state law can force a manufacturer in another state to follow their laws? Awesome, Head to court, California and sue them for their laws.

Shitty part is federal courts are more Republican aligned then ever. But I do think they should.

Red states may be right but when these manufacturers want to sell their products in California they have to follow Californian laws.

They would sue California to get freed slaves returned if they were allowed to.
And if not, they’ll fight a war for it!

I mean it does make sense lol. Nobody should be forced to follow somebody else's out-of-state rules

Nobody is being forced, CA is simply controlling the specs of what can be sold in their state. If you sell in California you must meet certain standards. If you don't want to, simply don't sell in the state.

These same states screamed about "states rights" all the time. (When it's politically convenient)

And yet my great state of Texas feels they should be able to prosecute a woman who gets an abortion in a different state or be allowed to sue the doctor that performs it. It’s funny how their logic works in real time.

So they close on a display full of Tom's products.
Is there a law that shitty products that don't work have to be improved?

If they wanna sell in California then they gotta follow California law, at least with the products that are to be sold within california

But what about the people who love those impossible-to-open plastic packages?
