Texas thinks they can pass laws binding the legal actions of people who don’t live in Texas. If the SCOTUS upholds this, it opens a huge can of worms where every state can effectively legislate behavior in any other state. For example, California could prosecute gun sellers in other states who sell guns without performing background checks to California residents who travel there. It would be a mess. The right should not want the court to decide in Paxton’s favor here.

Las Vegas would broke out the second that happens
SCOTUS just needs to refuse to hear the case with “lgtm” and then they’re free to give a lengthy rebuke of California if they try something similar.
They’re not even pretending to be non biased anymore.
