If Texas can ignore the federal government and make its own immigration policy, then I guess California can make its own trade policy. Seems fair.

States setting their own trade agreements is totally unconstitutional, but we haven't been following that for a while now anyway. I'm hoping the whole west coast can form it's own trade coalition.
