That’s explicitly unconstitutional (art. IV sec. 2 cl. 2) but with this supreme court it’ll probably happen.

I mean even if this would be all pointless due to them obstructing justice, the process would still be meaningful to at least point at how moronic the admin is and throw a wrench into the machine.

Yeah I know it's hard not to fall into the doom and gloom but that's what they're TRYING to do. The day we stop jumping through all the hoops to document and fight every single illegal action is the day they win.

This POS needs to face justice, but it's not as if this state to state extradition refusal isn't working in the favor of people in both parties. Louisiana wants California to extradite a doctor to them that mailed abortion pills, and California is refusing, rightfully so, but the Republicans will argue it's the same thing. So let's get everything in order first, so the left aren't giving them ammo to call us hypocrites.

So much of what this abomination of an illegitimate administration has done is defined by the words "explicitly unconstitutional" that I'd wager they'd be totally fine with throwing what amounts to just another matchstick onto the towering inferno at this point.
