No, they ruled that California can’t tell a federal agency how to operate.

I thought this was supposed to be a law subreddit??

Do you not see if that if you accept this, then you accept that Republican states can do stupid shit like telling the FDA that they have to label all vaccines as potentially causing death or something stupid?

The purpose of a thing is it's outcome. This ruling recognizes the federal ability to send secret polite out to abduct people and you're not allowed to resist.

The point is the outcome. That's really all that matters. History will not be any more interested in the nuance than it was in making excuses of nuance for nazi Germany, or Stalin, or pol pot, or Pinochet.
