That is a very interesting case Kevin. And one that is appropriate for this issue. It is the distribution of the public records that is at issue here just as it was in the case you cite. That is if I understand the case correctly. States have a right to decide what is safe delivery of goods across their borders. Some states may allow the training together of semi-trailers while others feel this represents a safety hazard to their own citizens. Weight limitations are placed on commercial vehicles and weigh stations are set up inside the state for the same reason.

If some states decide the bulk export of the public records of their citizens represents a safety risk to their citizens shouldn't they be allowed to protect their citizens? Trucking companies are still allowed to transport goods out of the state but only in a way the state has determined is safe for their citizens.

Many states have laws that limit the distribution in and out of their states. Some states limit the import of produce and live animals to protect their citizens and industries from insect and disease infestation. Hazardous material transportation is also limited by both federal and state laws. Can these laws also be circimvented with cries of Interstate Commerce?

Counties, States and the federal government are already limiting what can be displayed over the internet. They are plugging holes in the sides of the bucket and never seeing the gapping hole in the bottom, digital bulk transfer of sensitive information for the convenience and profit of a few at the expence of safety for all.

It falls to the states to keep their borders secure. The internet is a border that is crossed every night by millions of criminals who come to steal the identities and security of our citizens. If the federal government cannot or will not protect the federal internet borders then the states must protect their own citizens at the state line.
