Default why bother upgrading

why pay the arrl to upgrade your license as the california state
ruling in the palmdale case has recently proved, it is a complete
waste of money to pay the arrl anything to upgrade your radio license
since local cities and states can take it away anytime despite what
the fcc says. you pay to upgrade to a general or extra then the local
city and local state takes it away by busting you back down to
techncian class even though younever violated any fcc rules and
despite fcc rules saying no one except the fcc is allowed to force you
to involuntary surrenderr your fcc
license.
and if cities andd states can take away your general and extra class
radio license despite what the fcc says as has happened in the
palmdale case, then they can also take away your technician class
license and even the right to operate your cb radio no matter what the
fcc
says.
why is this ruling of cities and states prohi biting you from having
a general and extra class radio license despite the fcc granting
you a license to operate general and extra class being allowed to
stand.
whatever happened to the federal law trumps local city and state law
the radio opeators were so fond of quoting in the
past.
