Howard Griffith: “I am not against States' rights. I am against creating a super State…”

On the recordApril 30, 2025

I am not against States' rights. I am against creating a super State in California because they are the only ones that are entitled to get a waiver and then claiming, as the Government Accountability Office, that they have some kind of extrajudicial authority to tell Congress how to do its business.
