#2 Knowingly passing laws that are a)unconstitutional and b) are bills of attainder - sounds like grounds for impeachment (for the CA Dems) to me.

#3 That'll never happen, Raj. Not in California. It's too late. And it doesn't matter whether the law is constitutional or not. The object is to harass and delay in any way possible, legal or otherwise.

#4 I expect this to be struck down after a trip through a circuit court.

That being said, I also expect California and other loonybin states to secede after Trump wins 2020.

You know it only takes 2/3rds of the Senate to ratify or amend a treaty, say, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and return the 'offended' areas back to Mexico.
