"If newsome committed a crime, prosecute him. Nobody is above the law.", I totally agree.

I am not following some playbook, as you assume it. I just follow the news of what is happening. And I think personally, that power should always be as close to the people as possible. Minimalize delegation of power and federate as much decision making to everyone when possible. And it is easy to see, that Trup is rowing against my ideal with his actions.

He is trying to concentrate power and take it away from the individual states.
