California can't do anything about tariffs on imports to the US, they're trying to convince other countries not to put tariffs on imports of things made in California. They're basically asking countries to do what some countries are already doing - target tariffs on things that hurt red states and swing states. That's not unconstitutional.

They should still tax the fuck out of products from red counties in CA.
