Governing: Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy invited potential litigants to bring a case to the court that challenges a 23-year-old decision that limits the ability of states to collect taxes on Internet sales.
Kennedy's concurring decision, in an otherwise technical ruling about the legal jurisdiction of state sales-tax cases, could set the stage for companies such as Amazon.com to charge taxes on sales to all its U.S. consumers. Amazon doesn't collect taxes on sales to customers in 26 states (though it long has in Washington state).
