California’s latest move to “fight the wall” is truly something out of La La Land

There are still budget battles and (probably) blockades from the 9th Circuit to come, but sooner or later the President is going to get some work started on the border wall. But if and when he does, California is laying some landmines in advance for any private contractors who dare to bid on the job and pour a single yard of concrete. In a move being dubbed, “Build it and be banned,” California legislators are proposing to impose a permanent ban for government contracts on any company who takes part in the project. And no… this is not an article from The Onion. (Los Angeles Times)

Sounds like an unfair restraint of trade by the state of California to me.
Probably wouldn't hold up before a conservative Supreme Court.

Having said that, who cares?
Just award all the contracts for the California portion of construction to out-of-state construction companies who don't normally do business in California anyway.

Probably plenty of outfits from Texas willing to do the work...
