U.S. Supreme Court Holds Hearing in South Dakota v. WayfairAlex Baulf
On April 17, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court considered oral arguments in South Dakota v. Wayfair, a case that may have groundbreaking implications with respect to sales and use tax nexus standards. Last year, the South Dakota Supreme Court unanimously affirmed a circuit court’s decision that a law requiring certain remote sellers that do not have a physical presence in South Dakota to collect sales tax on sales made in the state is unconstitutional. In affirming the circuit court, the South Dakota Supreme Court agreed that the law violates the physical presence requirement for sales and use taxes under Quill v. North Dakota and its application of the Commerce Clause. The U.S. Supreme Court decided to consider the case and recently heard oral arguments. Mark Arrigo, Matthew Melinson, Jamie Yesnowitz and Jeremy Jester from Grant Thornton LLP attended the hearing and provide their observations in this Alert.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC., FKA
WESTERN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC.,
ET AL. v. STEVE BULLOCK, ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF MONTANA, ET AL.
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME
COURT OF MONTANA
No. 11–1179. Decided June 25, 2012
PER CURIAM.
A Montana state law provides that a “corporation may
not make . . . an expenditure in connection with a candi-
date or a political committee that supports or opposes a
candidate or a political party.” Mont. Code Ann. §13–
35–227(1) (2011). The Montana Supreme Court rejected
petitioners’ claim that this statute violates the First
Amendment. 2011 MT 328, 363 Mont. 220, 271 P. 3d 1.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, this
Court struck down a similar federal law, holding that
“political speech does not lose First Amendment protection
simply because its source is a corporation.” 558 U. S. ___,
___ (2010) (slip op., at 26) (internal quotation marks omit-
ted). The question presented in this case is whether the
holding of Citizens United applies to the Montana state
law. There can be no serious doubt that it does. See U. S.
Const., Art. VI, cl. 2. Montana’s arguments in support of
the judgment below either were already rejected in Citi-
zens United, or fail to meaningfully distinguish that case.
The petition for certiorari is granted. The judgment of
the Supreme Court of Montana is reversed.
It is so ordered.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC., FKA
WESTERN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC.,
ET AL. v. STEVE BULLOCK, ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF MONTANA, ET AL.
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME
COURT OF MONTANA
No. 11–1179. Decided June 25, 2012
JUSTICE BREYER, with whom JUSTICE GINSBURG, JUS-
TICE SOTOMAYOR, and JUSTICE KAGAN join, dissenting.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the
Court concluded that “independent expenditures, includ
ing those made by corporations, do not give rise to corrup
tion or the appearance of corruption.” 558 U. S. ___, ___
(2010) (slip op., at 42). I disagree with the Court’s hold-
ing for the reasons expressed in Justice Stevens’ dissent
in that case. As Justice Stevens explained, “technically in
dependent expenditures can be corrupting in much the
same way as direct contributions.” Id., at ___ (slip op., at
67–68). Indeed, Justice Stevens recounted a “substantial
body of evidence” suggesting that “[m]any corporate inde
pendent expenditures . . . had become essentially inter
changeable with direct contributions in their capacity to
generate quid pro quo arrangements.” Id., at ___ (slip op.,
at 64–65).
Moreover, even if I were to accept Citizens United, this
Court’s legal conclusion should not bar the Montana Su
preme Court’s finding, made on the record before it, that
independent expenditures by corporations did in fact lead
to corruption or the appearance of corruption in Montana.
Given the history and political landscape in Montana, that
court concluded that the State had a compelling interest in
limiting independent expenditures by corporations. 2011

3. 2 AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC. v. BULLOCK
BREYER, J., dissenting
36–37. Thus, Montana’s experience, like considerable ex
perience elsewhere since the Court’s decision in Citizens
United, casts grave doubt on the Court’s supposition that
independent expenditures do not corrupt or appear to do
so.
Were the matter up to me, I would vote to grant the
petition for certiorari in order to reconsider Citizens United
or, at least, its application in this case. But given the
Court’s per curiam disposition, I do not see a significant
possibility of reconsideration. Consequently, I vote in
stead to deny the petition.
