What You Need to Know
- The justices will hear October arguments on whether a California law on the sale of pork violates the dormant commerce clause.
- The national pork industry argues that the law regulates conduct outside the state's boundaries.
- California counters that the law, designed to ensure humane treatment of pigs, only regulates in-state sales like other in-state sales restrictions.
When the U.S. Supreme Court hears October arguments in a challenge to a state law barring sales of certain pork products, lurking in the background will be potential implications for state efforts to regulate abortions, climate change, assisted suicide and other public policy issues.
