    This is a terrible precedent. Some federal action might affect a company which might pay the state taxes at some point so the states get to sue now? That could apply to nearly anything the federal government does! This is a terrible ruling for so many reasons. Naked partisan hackery by the conservative judges. The court needs reform badly.

      This is how almost all federal power is derived in the u.s.: based on theoretical revenue. This is why federal regulations apply to local commerce.
