Cal-il-fornia governor Gavin Newsom is nearing a Fort Supter moment as he bans any cooperation with Federal authorities in looking into vote theft in the state.

He has made it a felony to hand over any voter information to the Feds, who are tasked with examining any charges of fraud based on Civil Rights legislation the Democrats themselves supported in the South.

He's also trying to ban any federal troops from the Yellow State.

When the state of South Carolina nullified the tariff during the administration of Andrew Jackson Congress passed the Force Act, which allowed Jackson to send the military there to enforce the law. South Carolina quickly passed a law authorizing the tariff, but they also passed a law nullifying the Force Act in the state. Jackson took the easier course and simply ignored it - he won. But it was that ignoring that led ultimately to the firing on Fort Sumter decades later. The precedent had been set.

Trump could just ignore this but he shouldn't. There have to be consequences. These lawless acts by Newsom require pressure to force him to recant. Let this go and you open the door to much worse down the road.
