Seriously, since we can't force the states or regions to end bans or taxes on tobacco, bags or straws then what gives the federal government the power to force the entire private sector to do this? I am serious.
Because under what I believe is the Commerce clause, the federal government is given the power to regulate business, even
Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad Company, which established the principle of corporate personhood did not declare that the government had no authority to regulate business whatsoever. Like sure maybe you can cite
Schecter or whatever, but that decision was clearly political overreach and a partisan decision by the Court (reminder that the court was controlled by Republicans who were very opposed to FDR's agenda). This idea that the government cannot regulate business is kind of absurd, unless you're going to cite blatantly partisan decisions.
