President-Elect Donald Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsome of Ruining California.
Newsome has called for a special session of the State Legislature to prepare to block any Trump Administration Proposals that might be harmful to California.
Governor Newsome call it "Trump-Proofing." Trump is not amused.
But California will rely on what is called the “anti-commandeering” principle: the federal government cannot force states to adopt regulations or administer federal mandates.
The Supreme Court used this principle to hold that the federal government could not force state and local governments to conduct background checks before issuing permits for firearms.
In the meantime, Federal Workers are anxious and worried about layoffs and transfers once Trump is sworn into office.
