[Dr. Sivana]

what business is it of the state in ‘permitting’ any manufacturer from selling its wares?

States can and do have such permits, and the U.S. Constitution allows it AT THE STATE LEVEL. Everything from Silly String and spray paint to fast food joints defaulting to spread instead of butter. That's federalism.

[Jacquerie]

Agree.

Absent the “no state shall” restrictions of the Constitution, the states have near plenary powers.

Oh, and the first eight amendments to the Constitution, despite Scotus nonsense, do not apply to the states.
