Adding credibility to your OP, consider the fact the C.A.R.B., the evil twin to the EPA, is allowed to set environmental policy and standards that are far beyond those set on a national basis.
Why? Because they go farther and effectively set national standards all citizens must live by, since, for example, a car company can't afford to manufacture vehicles under two different sets of standards.
Normally, a separate set of environmental standards would not be allowed by a state, except liberals want the more controlling standards, so they allow a single state to establish what in effect becomes national policy.
That can only be viewed as a liberal effort in a minority position imposing control on the unrepresented majority, whether they like it or not. Proof positive of their authoritarian views and objectives.
Wait, wait, so you are saying that states should not be able to set their own policies based upon what is best for that state's citizen's interests, and instead those policies should be centralized and controlled by the federal government in a one size fits all solution.. This in a thread where the right winger in the OP is bitching about left wing authoritarianism. Oh the irony...
