The issue should be whether the stores are open or not, not what they can sell. Course that's just an old Southern tradition long gone by the wayside to keep up with the 'fast paced' yankees who have infested our states IMO.

And this Southern man is indebted to those Yankee newcomers for that very reason. I like 24 hour stores and being able to buy stuff on Sundays.

As long as there is a willing buyer and a willing seller for a legal product, why should anyone object to our transaction?

Well that's up to the states and the local municipalities. Or at least it was. And that was the intent of the Framers. Federalist #45 is very clear on that. And if we are to determine the intent of the Framers, we must look to their writings, especially the ones written to convince the public to buy into the Constitution. I may disagree with the stance of blue laws but I find it interesting that until 20-25 years ago, no one had a problem with them.
