Well, guess what, Gavin, I've got bad news for you: DHS isn't having it, not even for a minute. Their message is simple: "To be clear: We will NOT comply with Gavin Newsom's unconstitutional mask ban."
"
As RedState's editor Jennifer Van Laar reported, the Constitution's Supremacy Clause poses just a little bit of a problem for Mr. Newsom. It says basically, "The Supremacy Clause refers to the foundational principle that, in general, federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state law." As Van Laar wrote, Newsom's response when questioned about that was "mind-numbingly stupid," and his master plan was simply that "We're going to test the theory."
It's not a theory, it's the Constitution."
