What will the reactionaries do for an encore? That’s the question I raised a few days ago, but I couldn’t really answer it, except to say there would almost certainly be one. The pig case, however, has given me a plausible answer.
I think the red states will start putting the screws to businesses from blue states that don’t reflect their values. A logical place to start would be to prohibit the sale of goods that were created in any part by illegal immigrants, regardless of the point of origin. Can’t you imagine Florida and Texas adopting that kind of regulation? Of course, you can.
And the Supreme Court has now blessed it.
