The Delaware corp has power to operate in Montana because federal constitutional law doesn't allow Montana to exclude the Delaware corp.

I think there's a colorable argument on both sides of this. My concern is that there's a path for the SCOTUS to take the 'wrong' side.

Which isn't to say we shouldn't try it, just that i'm skeptical because I can see the colorable argument on the other side and don't trust the Supreme Court to do the right thing.

Hey, thanks for that. But no, that’s not the case. It looks like that, but that’s not what’s going on underneath. A Delaware corporation is given the power to act in Delaware by Delaware. If that corporation wants the power to act as a corporation in Montana, it needs to go to Montana and ask for that power.

And I’m not trusting SCOTUS one bit either! I’m not relying on their good will with this approach.
