Well, I'm not sure that nobody cares. More that this is still at the stage of a bunch of people saying, "hey, is that constitutional?" rather than at the stage of constitutional litigation. (And it's not obvious to me, at first glance, who would be able to litigate a claim on these. Presumably, the person issued a registered warrant would have standing, but they would run smack-dab into 11th Amendment restrictions/sovereign immunity. If CA hasn't waived its sovereign immunity, I'm not sure they'd have a way around it. The federal government might be able to sue, but that would probably take a while to happen, and I'm sure that Treasury is spending a lot of time thinking about the policy side of that, not just the legal side.)
But yeah... it's one of a couple of recent constitutional issues involving clauses of the Constitution that you never study in Constitutional Law courses...
