    Colorado can’t set precedent for California. Koulanakis is just so mind-numbingly stupid she thinks you need to be 40 to be POTUS.

      I don’t think the Lt Governor is the dumb one at hand, weirdly angry internet denizen.

      And a state can, in fact, set precedent for another state in interpreting federal law, particularly the Constitution, as precedent is, and this will probably shock you, just precedent and not the law itself.

      It is legally very simple to look at another state’s interpretation of the Constitution and say “Yes, they had a good argument, that’s the right way to do it.”
