Patently unconstitutional. We already did this with Obamacare. With 7 votes, the Court held that the provision tying receipt of Medicaid funds to implementing a state market was unlawful. There was not a sufficient nexus between the funds and the demand -- and that was within the realm of health. This is why many states did not expand Medicaid. They didn't have to, per the Supreme Court.

It is simply unlawful for the federal government to coerce states into compliance with federal laws by withholding money. Just so we all know.

Federal energy law does not supplant or preeempt state laws. Executive orders do not change that, because they are not law. Nor can regulations alone. The Supremacy clause applies to statutes. It might also apply to implementing regulations, but only as derivative of the statute. There are no statutes that I know of that would preempt state law.

I'm not a MAGA. Not gloating. I never have been overly political for one side or the other. You know who I am and my history has proven I call it down the middle.

You don't. If I recall correctly you have NEVER voted for a Republican and you are 70 or so...

If you want me banned the make the call.

If we have to name an airport after Trump, I’d think LaGuardia would be more appropriate.

I'd find some dog poop along a sidewalk, land an RC there, and then put a little sign in the middle of the poop: Donald J Trump International Airport.
