@PATAX  The plaintiff they hunted down in Huntsville is a real estate agent.  The organization paying for the litigation is headquartered in Ohio, but they're smart enough to know where to shop for a friendly judge.  Even, for a friendly circuit court of appeals.  But those judges will ignore how the newbie judge trying to make a name for himself goes on and on about the Commerce Clause, when that's not the peg the government hangs its hat on.  It's national security and foreign relations -- we have to do it in order to cooperate with other countries that are doing it -- and tax administration.  The plaintiffs even admitted that they would fail if the only reason was taxes.  The judge says, "you win if that's the only reason, but not if that's just one of the reasons."  Not too bright.
