Trump tried but couldn't get enough Republicans on board with this to put it in the Big Beautiful Bill. This is his consolation prize.

It’s shocking to me how few people I see suggesting we march on Washington and make a new government where corrupt pedophiles get capital punishment.

What the fuck does conservative even mean anymore?

He is so blantly not a conservative. So with a 41% (tho falling) approval rating, the bigger question is: did those who claimed to believe in it really give up their principles so easily? Or never really believe in them to begin with?

In this case, does federalism give us fifty laboratories of democracy, where dozens of variations of AI regulation can be tested and compared? Or, since it so hard to identify locations, and to support fragmented models, do we get a de facto national regulatory scheme combining the most restrictive laws from each state?

Do not go gentle into that AI dawn.

Doubly incorrect. There is no power by which the executive can "ban" any state action. Is not a thing. But that isn't what the piece says. The EO would set up a "task force" to sue states that did X or Y. That is something that happens, and when the theories are at the level of quality this admin produces, those suits fail.

You seem to be overlooking the commerce clause and Wickard v Filburn letting the Feds control the states however they like (so long as there is a butterfly effect argument about interstate commerce impact, which here there easily is).

This is good. Dealing with 50 different laws on AI regulation would be a nightmare for a startup. Not to mention that most AI regulation would be unconstitutional per Bernstein v DOJ. (The PGP case)
