This isn’t a federal tax. The congress is invoking the commerce clause, to allow the state governments to enforce the sales tax on their residents. It is still a state tax.
And it is a tax that is already due. This isn’t a new tax. It is an enforcement mechanism for an existing tax, because most people who buy online fail to file their taxes for those purchases. They are committing crime, sometimes a felony, but they get away with it because it is a very hard crime to police.
All well and good - but you still haven’t given your justification for businesses in states without a sales being forced to become an unpaid employee (tax collector)of the 9,400+ jurisdictions with sales taxes.

Have people been skirting the Mail order catalogue taxes for the last 100+ years then????
