SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
NO. 03-1230
AMERICAN TRUCKING ASSOCIATIONS, INC. and USF HOLLAND, INC., PETITIONERS v. MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION et al.
on writ of certiorari to the court of appeals of michigan
[June 20, 2005]
Justice Thomas, concurring in the judgment.
I would affirm the judgment of the Michigan Court of Appeals because “ ‘[t]he negative Commerce Clause has no basis in the text of the Constitution, makes little sense, and has proved virtually unworkable in application,’ Camps Newfound/Owatonna, Inc. v. Town of Harrison, 520 U. S. 564, 610 (1997) (Thomas, J., dissenting), and, consequently, cannot serve as a basis for striking down a state statute.” Hillside Dairy Inc. v. Lyons, 539 U. S. 59, 68 (2003) (Thomas, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
