This is similar to California trying to tax commercial
sattelites that flew over California air space and the
electric company that wanted to charge homeowners for
installing solar panels.

My favorite was when they got slapped down for trying to tax retirees

Supremes guffawed.

CA was one of five states, claiming tax on federal pensions. NY, CT,
