That... seems like a pretty bad thing to do.
I don't know anything about the situation, but they said the law was passed in California in 1996 allowing this and just now the federal government is pulling rank on it out of nowhere? Was there any warning?
The federal government overruling the state is one thing but from that article it sounds like.... they just up and decided "yeah we don't like that thing you've been doing for 15 years stop it immediately"
