If a Washington State judge says caps are unconstitutional, on what basis? That would say, then, that a State legislature couldn't cap them; Congress can't cap them; that this is essentially, then, a function of the courts. I remember a decision that came out of the State of Washington. It was a Federal judge that essentially ruled that the President's executive order on, let's say, migrants coming into the United States was unconstitutional, even though Congress specifically granted the authority to their President. So I am not going to defer to a single judge's opinion in that fashion. I would point out, too, that we do protect States' rights.
