and in each case - the other state “allowed” the actor to engane in commerce - and in some cases (dealerships) the actual entity performing the commerce is IN state and subject to state taxes and laws. In most other cases, a prerequisite of have a license is that some sort of domicile is created so that in state actions can be taxed - even if this is nothing other than a post box! A state can not tax and/or regulate objects/actions NOT under thier jurisdiction and a state MUST have the power to compell out of state actors to comply with in state laws - otherwise, YOU the consumer and totally UNPROTECTED.
