Question presented

Council of City of New Orleans, 491 U.S. 350, 365 (1989), interest in regulating the transactions that out-of-state companies enter into with the State’s residents within other States’ borders is sufficiently important to permit the State to evade federal court under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971).
What happens next
