I believe this case is state law. The supreme court wouldn't have jurisdiction generally speaking.

In that case, wouldn't it just go to the California Supreme Court instead of SCOTUS?

But yeah, unqualified usage of 'supreme court' makes things confusing because that normally resolves to SCOTUS.

This sounds like a case that could easily be construed to constitute interstate commerce.

  • All that means is that Congress has the authority to legislate in the area. Interstate commerce isn't a basis for federal court jurisdiction.

    The Supreme Court still reviews state supreme court decisions, but Amazon would have to allege some sort of constitutional violation, which seems unlikely here.
