Can states not sue companies that accept payment from citizens within their state?
I'm not 100% sure. But in general, interstate commerce is the federal governments domain.
And if the company has no assets in the state, what could a state court do if the company didn't pay? The state court has no jurisdiction outside the state. Now if I was an exec for that company, I wouldn't take any trips there just to be safe...
No matter who I might be I wouldn't go to any part of the US
That's a good call right now.
