Probably unconstitutional but they don't care.

It's WRONG...and they don't care. They have no morals or ethics.

"I'm no constitutional professor"

Neither am I but I found this:

Section 9 of the Constitution
--snip--
No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.
--snip--

It may be a start as it infers equality in regulation of commerce. There are also questions as to the constitutionality of congress having authority to require individuals to purchase a service else penalized.
