Abstract

The article focuses on the legal debate surrounding Proposition 12, a California law that restricts the sale of certain pork products based on animal welfare standards, with one side arguing it violates the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause by regulating out-of-state activities. Topics discussed include the Commerce Clause's application, comparisons with previous cases involving extraterritoriality and the argument for an expanded "practical effects" standard in constitutional interpretation.
