Louisiana attempted to comply with the federal requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act which mandated Reasonable & Customary Fees. A process was then put in place to fairly address that narrow issue.

Certain bottom feeders unhappy about being required to pay fair fees filed a complaint with FTC who then wrongly asserted that states’ enforcement of a federally mandated requirement somehow constituted price-fixing.

The case has been allowed to be redefined from the original issue which has (apparently ) been long forgotten and somehow is no longer considered to be Germaine.

SCOTUS hearing this case on a narrowly focused side issue doesn’t answer the question as to whether states are legally able to enforce C&R fees. The whole thing SHOULD have been treated similarly to a minimum wage type issue. Imho.
