    Over a law that does not impact the first state in any way?

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-leads-blue-state-attack-absurd-west-virginia-law-banning-boys-girls-sports

    I can see suing another state over something that impacts both states… I can see the feds suing over something they perceive as outside of federal law or the Constitution but suing over something like this?

    And you now have the highest sports authority in the world halting trans women from competing against women (notice nobody minds than men competing against men… Are there any sports that there would be an advantage? Gymnastics? Figure Skating?). I don’t see this as going well for California.

      From the article linked in the opening post:

      California’s Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta led an amicus brief in the case, B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education, and called the West Virginia law an "absurd legislative effort targeting transgender school children."

      California is not suing West Virginia. California merely filed an amicus brief — just about anyone can file an amicus brief.

          Paxton (Texas) tried to sue GA, MI, PA, and WI for letting Trump lose and SCOTUS told him to take a shit on a plate and handed him a spoon.

          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.
