The House voted Thursday to block California from enforcing a rule that would ban sales of new gasoline-powered cars in the state by 2035.

Lawmakers voted 246-164 to pass a resolution targeting the rule, which ranks as one of the nation’s most ambitious policies aimed at combating climate change and promoting electric vehicles. However, it is unclear whether the Senate will follow suit and send the measure to President Donald Trump’s desk.

In forging ahead with the vote, House Republicans sidestepped legal opinions from two nonpartisan watchdogs. The Senate parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office have concluded that Congress lacks the legal authority to prevent states from enforcing such climate rules.

Fuck the democratic party. The fact that they let 35 of their own members unconstitutionally shit on state’s rights is insane. I don’t even give a shit about state’s rights usually, but even I can see how insane this is. Literally, fuck the democratic party. All 35 of those motherfuckers should be expelled from the party, but we live in america, where the “left” party does not care about anything so long as they can maintain their wealth.
