Amazon opened two distribution centers here to get products out faster and so federal law already requires them to collect Maryland state sales taxes.Federal law is not in play here. It would be state law that requires it. There is no federal law of any kind regarding state sales taxes or the levying/collection thereof.

There is no federal law of any kind regarding state sales taxes or the levying/collection thereof. I believe Federal law would preclude a state from collecting a sales tax from a business located outside the state.

There is no federal law of any kind regarding state sales taxes or the levying/collection thereof. Actually, that's not entirely true. There is a federal law that was put in place decades ago that mainly concerned businesses that offered catalogs. There was no sales tax on catalog sales if you had no physical presence in the state being shipped to. That has largely been transferred to the internet for obvious reasons.
Everyone is acting like this is all new, but really, it is not.
