What happens if Trump and/or Congress go after states and cities supporting the Climate Alliance...?

[First Speaker]

...I mean, look at the sanctuary cities. We know what they really feel about "states rights". Imagine if Roe v Wade is reversed, and Congress adopts a national anti-abortion law...how do you think they'll deal with states who refuse to play along? You know how much the Right hates climate initiatives. Does it take much imagination to see them using the power of the Federal government to stop *any* state or locality from taking *any* climate action?

5. The alliance states can move pretty much unimpeded.

If it isn't explicitly listed as power for the Feds in the constitution, it is a power held by the states.

6. They're going to force cities and states to pollute more or something?

7. States could prohibit cities from enacting green ordinances

Just like they are trying to block sanctuary cities, LGBT ordinances and even plastic bag bans.
