Trump to Revoke California's Authority to Set Stricter Auto Emissions Rules

[Initech]

The Trump administration is expected on Wednesday to formally revoke California’s legal authority to set tailpipe pollution rules that are stricter than federal rules, in a move designed by the White House to strike twin blows against both the liberal-leaning state that President Trump has long antagonized and the environmental legacy of President Barack Obama.

The announcement that the White House will revoke one of California’s signature environmental policies will come while Mr. Trump is traveling in the state, where he is scheduled to attend fund-raisers in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

The formal revocation of California’s authority to set its own rules on tailpipe pollution — the United States’ largest source of greenhouse emissions — will be announced Wednesday afternoon at a private event at the Washington headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A White House spokesman referred questions on the matter to the Environmental Protection Agency. A spokesman for the E.P.A. did not respond to an email requesting comment.

Xavier Becerra, the attorney general of California, said the state intends to strike back with a lawsuit, one that is expected to go all the way to the Supreme Court. “While the White House clings to the past, automakers and American families embrace cleaner cars,” he wrote in an email, calling the tougher standards “achievable, science-based, and a boon for hardworking American families and public health.”

Go breathe toxic smoke from a tailpipe, Trump. And get the fuck out of my state, you're not welcome here.

1. Straight to court. And remember, Republicans have

children with childhood asthma and grandparents with COPD also.

[Initech]

2. But they don't care. Their derangement for my state is extremely strong.

They can all honestly go breathe toxic smoke. Digging their own grave just to "own the libs".

[Hortensis]

4. Yes, they do. All that matters, of course, is how many

end up not voting for Trump, or best case not voting at all.

[walkingman]

3. I hope he chokes - a sorry bastard.

[Celerity]

5. we will win in court, or just ignore

fuck Rump

[Initech]

7. He thinks he is only president of AM radio talk show hosts.

Seriously, that shit is really rotting his brain. Though his brain was already rotten to begin with.

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Can California just refuse to go along with this dictatorial crap?

[Celerity]

9. yes, at this point I say if we lose in court (highly unlikely) we just ignore

IF Rump is reelected and takes the SCOTUS to 7-2 or even 8-1 HARD RW

They are going to try and repeal nationally ALL major civil rights gains since Brown v Board (and go after Brown itself) and not just let states decide but try and shove it all down all 50 states throats.

fuck them, start now to ignore

they want to keep pushing, by the early to mid 2030's or so California and other hard blue states will be on full succession boil

[roamer65]

16. I say we call a secessionist convention if Dump steals the election.

Just like the Hartford Convention of 1814.

[Control-Z]

8. This makes me furious.

The lousy pile of shit. Fuck him. Just fuck him.

He needs to stay the hell out of my state.

[njhoneybadger]

10. I thought Rethugs were all about states rights

I hope he gets carbon monoxide poisoning and dies

[Crunchy Frog]

11. They're about power, money, and nothing else.

They have no principles whatsoever, and only pretend they do for the sake of their stupider constituents.

[Initech]

14. Only for states that vote red. States that vote blue can fuck right off.

It's all part of their quest for absolute power.

[struggle4progress]

12. Air

[struggle4progress]

13. Pollution

[roamer65]

17. Ignore the federal government on this issue, California.

Seriously, what can they do about it? Nothing!

Just stop all deliveries at your border and test each one. The auto companies won’t want the delay and they will continue to obey California law.
