YOU SUE ME, I SUE YOU

The Feds vs. California: Inside the twin efforts to regulate AI in the US


The formerly great state of California has just filed suit against the Trump Administration over the $939 billion dollars that Trump just cut out of federal money going to schools in CA.  The state is asserting that since congress had previously appropriated the money that Trump MUST spend it.  

Also Trump is appealing the judges ruling that is attempting to throw roadblocks up in front of ICE in nine counties in SoCal to try very hard to prevent ICE from arresting pretty much anybody except known bad actors who currently have an outstanding felony warrant.  ICE is making much out of the fact that the big raid on the pot farm over the weekend in SoCal turned up ten minors, nine of who had no parent or guardian present. 

My guess is that the Trump appeal over ICE action will be successful.  I am guessing that will happen soon.  I am less sanguine about the lawsuit over the money.  My own point of view is that there is a difference between making the money available and saying that the feds MUST spend the money.  That being said I recognize that the other side of the coin is not completely without merit.
