> going to jail the governor of California?

Probably not. But you would see Calfire agents being arrested.

> some point politicians need to have some chutzpah

I agree and also asked the question [1]. As a political stunt, it might work for the individual. But it would also set a precedent most Californian voters probably wouldn't appreciate when it comes to federal land in red states. To say nothing of basically every Californian wildfire funding battle in D.C. being ex ante conceded for a few years.

Liberalism: the fear that someone, somewhere is doing something you disagree with.

But thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. If we want to make progress as a nation we have to literally love ourselves (in this case, our lungs) more than we hate those we disagree with.
