It is in line with Trump’s fair trade

His fair trade policy is to violate the constitution?

His fair trade policy is to violate the constitution?

At which ip address does the transaction take place? If the transaction is deemed to happen at the ip address of the seller, then the constitutional reference applies. If the transaction is deemed to occur at the ip address of the buyer, then the transaction is subject to sales tax.

If the transaction is only viewed from the standpoint of the goods physically changing hands, then the delivery man is acting as an agent for the seller and the exchange of goods is completed within the jurisdiction of the local sales tax. Again, no violation of the constitution.

I'm not a constitutional lawyer so I'm not prepared to argue any of these positions, they just serve to illustrate the complexity of the issue if you wish to apply the constitutional argument. It would appear that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the transaction having occurred at the location of the buyer. I am not prepared to dispute that, nor do I have any desire to. Personally, I believe the ruling is in line with the principal of fair trade.
