James Woods said it plainly: “Reread the Supremacy Clause, you slithering reptile.” He’s right on the law. Federal authority over federal elections is not a suggestion. It is the supreme law of the land.
Newsom’s threat to prosecute federal officials following lawful presidential orders isn’t courage — it’s a tantrum dressed up as constitutionalism from a man whose own administration is currently under federal investigation.

His former chief of staff has been indicted on dozens of felony corruption charges. Newsom is not a governor protecting democracy. He is a politician desperate to control every lever of power in a state where the machinery that keeps him and his allies in office is now under a federal microscope.
