Newsom floats withholding federal taxes as Trump threatens California


SACRAMENTO, California — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday suggested California consider withholding tens of billions in annual federal tax dollars amid reports Donald Trump is preparing funding cuts targeting the state.

Do you know what the difference is?

The President has the authority to stop Federal School grants. And this petulant child does not have the authority to tell the Federal government no

Looks like a product of parents who never told him no

That’s ok. The IRS will send demand letters and eventually put a lien on California. Maybe they can foreclose on California. Lol

No, this Democratic governor thinks he is more powerful than the federal government and choose which law to follow or ignore

So much for Democracy

Step back and look at the executive branch ignoring and thinking it is more powerful that the judiciary branch, and repeat your words, "so much for democracy".

Step back and look at the GOP congress writing legislation to remove power from the courts simply because of the above, and repeat your words, "so much for democracy". Your concern is real, your point of contention way off.

Says the group that wants to stack the Supreme Court. Hypocrisy at its best.

???
Both Dems and the GOP want to stack the courts.
It's why the GOP literally stole two seats.
Where's the hypocrisy?

What two seats did the GOP steal? The number of justices remain at 9.

You know, sometimes when I was working, I would have to lead morning meetings which everyone one disliked. Sometimes when I really didn't have anything, I would give a little test and if they answered the questions right, I would excuse the meeting. One time I did it regarding the court justices, and reading your question, you would not helped them.

But that would presuppose that you have the right answer to the question. If you can’t answer my question that’s fine.

The response is because really, it's kind of known history. Yahoo search: GOP stole two court seats
Which has not one thing to do with the number of seats.
Again, if one's concern is the loss of Democracy in the US, then given recent outright defying the courts and legislation to weaken the courts because the courts have the audacity to rebuke the executive branch for not providing something as democracy important as due process, should be a concern for all. But apparently not, to use your word "hypocrisy."

lol History is important. The republican party was not founded until 1854 do the claim that the GOP stole the seat in 1852 is patently false.

We can argue the Garland nomination if you wish but it is not cut and dry,

Further, there was no stacking of the Supreme Court so the argument remains moot.

If Trump wants to stop finding California, why should California fund Trump? They could use the money in state.

The irony of a Trump supporter being up in arms about any Democrat breaking federal law.....

I....I can't even.
He's not even breaking Federal law, just a dubious executive order.

Time for California to stop acting like it's a country. Newsom doesn't have a leg to stand on compared to the full power of the United States.
