Opinion of the Court 

this Court’s core dormant Commerce Clause teachings fo-
cused on discriminatory state legislation.  Instead, petition-
ers invite us to endorse two new theories of implied judicial 
power.  They  would  have  us  recognize  an  “almost  per  se” 
rule against the enforcement of state laws that have “extra-
territorial effects”—even though this Court has recognized
since Gibbons that virtually all state laws create ripple ef-
fects beyond their borders.  Alternatively, they would have 
us prevent a State from regulating the sale of an ordinary
consumer good within its own borders on nondiscriminatory 
terms—even though the Pike line of cases they invoke has 
never  before  yielded  such  a  result.    Like  the  courts  that 
faced this case before us, we decline both of petitioners’ in-
cautious invitations. 

The judgment of the Ninth Circuit is 

Affirmed.
