"Just spinning your wheels."

Literally what you are doing. Once these tariffs go into effect, choosing not to collect and pay them would be illegal. You are straight up making up stuff up.

You asked if California would be arrested for F***s sake. No the state isn't getting arrested the people in the State who were refusing to pay a federal tax would. You high right now?

That is the dumb shit you said.

CA doesn't have to go along with the feds, theres nothing the feds can do the state, i.e. no of course they can't fucking arrest CA.

So like everyone has already said, Cali can happily go tell the federal government to go fuck themselves- any way they see fit.

Only you were the ignoramus saying the feds are going to arrest people. Who? Their own agents?

As I said, you are spinning your wheels- making up bad faith arguments. The federal government depends on the states. Not the other way around, well unless they're a red state typically getting more in funding than their tax base pays.
