Specifically, I had been reading about this Keys v. Carolina Coach Co. which banned segregation on buses traveling across state lines. I couldn't quite tell from the wikipedia article, but it seemed like this case was heard and decided by the Interstate Commerce Commission, a regulatory agency that no longer exists.
My questions were:
- What was the nature of the ICC?
- Was it a judicial body?
- How are cases there related to cases in the "normal" court system?
- Would its findings be treated as precedent similar to a regular court?
- Why was this case heard by the ICC and not the chain of courts which would normally lead to the Supreme Court? A similar case, Boynton v. Virginia was heard by the Supreme Court and not the ICC, why?
- Could the ICC or a normal court decide that the other had "jurisdiction" over a specific case and transfer it there?
- Is there a modern example an agency like this?
- Are there any modern examples of cases and findings that would have a similar wide impact on the interpretation of constitutional law as the Keys case?

We need corporate America to see Gosarism not as a clever way to drive "engagement" on social media and make money, but as a threat to the stability of the companies, the safety of their board members and CEOs, and a possible end of the companies themselves. In Germany in the 1930s companies reluctantly (yes) supported Hitler because they feared Communists more, and lost after 1945, but here there's no excuse because Biden's clearly pro-business. What gives.
It's time for corporate boards and CEOs to collectively ban people who support Gosarism, expressed in social media posts, from private interstate commerce (which they are constitutionally allowed to do at the federal level). That includes:
- Private businesses firing employees who express pro-Gosar beliefs (unless state law prevents such)
- Bans on private home internet and cell phone service, with even Tracphone requiring IDs so people on the lists cannot use the service (to use the internet they must go to a public library, or state legislatures must pass public state-run internet)
- Bans on holding credit or debit or ATM cards from Mastercard, Visa, AMEX, Discover, etc, which means no use of cashless businesses
- Bans on e-commerce like Amazon, eBay, etc
- Bans on flying on any airline or taking any Greyhound or Megabus service (Amtrak is public and still open)
- Forced closures of private bank accounts: no bank nor any credit union should allow them to open an account or keep an account. The banks/credit unions should give it back in cash and their only option is to keep cash at their residences.
- Ban on buying gasoline or diesel or using an electric car charger. Gas stations need to be moved to automated and unmanned, with no human interaction at the station. IDs would be required to buy gasoline, so people on the pro-Paul Gosar list cant fill up their cars
- Suppliers are to cut off pro-Gosar businesses. For example Sysco cutting off pro-Gosar restaurants
- Any business formed to evade such is cut off by suppliers so the business cannot function, and existing businesses will state very clearly they will try to prevent, by any means necessary, any evasion MAGA business
The idea is that people with odious pro-violence political views cannot and should not travel, communicate, or buy goods and the Republican Party must change its political stances to avoid their voters having very, very, very uncomfortable internet-less gasoline-less bank-less card-less lives
Anti-Gosar people make up a m

Snoop Dogg and Charles Koch's group "Americans for Prosperity(AFP)" are working together to form the Cannabis Freedom Alliance (CFA). I know everyone is shocked by Snoop Dogg's support, but let's focus on the highly influential right wing group: AFP.
>"Americans for Prosperity, founded by the Koch brothers in 2004, is one of the most influential organizations in conservative politics. The group rivals and even eclipses the official GOP in terms of its size, scope and spending."
Directly from the article. So now cannabis is getting support from conservatives, in a big way, and conservatives love free and open markets. They will tell you where you can put your regulations, just ask em. So, on top of a much better chance of getting 10-12 Republicans to vote in favor of Cannabis, which is great news for everyone, this is also AMAZING news for Candian LP's like TilAphria, and bad news for MSOs like TruShit. I mean Trulieve.
Don't believe me? According to one of the founders of the CFA (from the article):
>"A lot of big cannabis companies are fighting against things like interstate commerce because it doesn’t support their business model,” Angelos said. “That’s another reason why [AFP] is a perfect ally on this because they support free and open markets.”
Weeeeeeeeird. Do you guys think it's "big cannabis companies" like TilAphria or other large LPs fighting the interstate commerce, or maybe ones like Trulieve who are desperately clinging on to their dying business models? If interstate commerce is allowed, it will cost LPs only shipping costs to send their products to all 50 states, and their juicy markets. They already sit on an excess of product and grow space, just waiting for bigger markets.
Meanwhile, Trulieve spent 60m+ on 2 retail stores, then diluted. 🤦. So whatever markets they just spent 60m on, will eventually be available to everyone else (LPs and MSOs) for the cost of shipping to their stores or other new stores in the same area, post legalization with interstate commerce. No real long term cannabis company is focused on building a retail focused business. Just ask Curaleaf (read their ER) why their EU expansion is so exciting. They have no intentions of vertically integrating AND INSTEAD are building large manufacturing and distributing centers to serve larg

I know the whole federally illegal/state legal thing is super nuanced and complicated on it's own. But my question is really regarding if and how two "legal states" might interact with each other in this budding industry. Can a grower from one state sell their product to retailers in other states? Can Dispensaries from one state go to expos/conventions in another state to sell/promote product? Does the crossing of state lines turn the transaction into a federal matter?
And to take it a step further: I just saw a post where $15,000,000 of Marijuana was seized in the US and local law enforcement is just going to burn it. If they wanted to, would there be any way for them to take that to a legal state and monetize for the sake of putting the money back into their community? I mean it seems like a no-brainer that an illegal state wouldn't/couldn't sell weed to legal states, but idk the idea of burning a potential $15,000,000 of capital seems pretty ridiculous to me.
After the Boris interview kind of seems like interstate commerce will be where things are headed. I have heard the arguement that the MSO’s have to many stores so this will be bad for them. Vertical integration is what is required at this point right per state to state. So would we rather the MSO’s
-
Sit on the sidelines like the LP’s and just wait for interstate commerce to open up?
-
Or gain customers brand identity by spending some extra cash opening up stores and making money in the mean time?
I would guess that a lot of MSO’s don’t own these stores either sounds like a lot of them were leases with IIPR. To me IIPR would be the biggest one hurt by interstate commerce because MSO’s would not renew there lease and just have bigger production facilities to supply stores. Anyone have a break down of companies like Curaleaf and Trulieve on what stores they own and how many they lease? Are they all leased?
