It'd be great if California's consumer privacy protections could be applied at the federal level, but as long as the Republicans retain the presidency, either house of congress, or the Supreme Court, it would either never get passed or simply get struck down and returned to the state regulatory level.

Absolutely, that's the problem that Google is targeting here. Republicans like to claim that federal regulation is bad for businesses, but in reality it's state-level regulation that makes it harder for businesses to operate.

Not to be super pro-Google, this is purely self-interested for them. But it seems like people are interpreting this as Google being anti-regulation in general, and I don't think that's correct.
