Re: Good luck with that

California was able to bully the federal government over pollution because they had a concrete example to point to: Los Angeles, where a thermal inversion zone means any pollutants produced in Los Angeles tended to stay in Los Angeles, risking them running afoul of other federal acts like the Clean Air Act. Meaning they could pit law against law and threaten to tie up the courts. It would be harder to show how ISP regulation would pit law against law in this case, as I don't think there's an existing federal law California could use here as backup.
