Legally, perhaps, but morally, no. Are they trying to say that there are no limits to the authority a California government can maintain over its citizens, regardless of where they do their shopping? I can't help but compare this to Dred Scott; it's a loose comparison, but an apt one, I think. Where do the limits of a state's authority begin and end?
Well if you sit in your home in Malibu and click on Amazon.com and make a purchase “where” are you doing
your shopping? There’s at least an argument to be
made that you’re actually still in California.
Reasonable minds may differ on this but I think you
can still have the conversation.
