SCOTUS has ruled that, with specific and compelling reasons, states can implement these kinds of interstate restrictions. If Congress wanted to, they could pass a federal law that would pre-empt the state law, but has not done so.

- ncallaway 3y ago> FedGov would have to evaluate or interact with every sort of intra-state interaction I don't think that's the case. It would be up to Congress. They have the authority to pass a law that says: "No state may put up any intra-state barriers to commerce at all", and that would be that. Or they could choose to pass a law that's a lot more specific, in which case they would need to deal with each intra-state interaction.
