With respect to the article ” Battle Over UCITA Heats Up As Both Sides Claim Support,”you do understand that the argument made by the pro-Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) folk that the state legislature can always clean things up later has a disingenuous component, don’t you?
The U.S. Constitution forbids states from impairing contracts. Any contract entered into as a result of UCITA is therefore insulated from subsequent state “fixes” to a very substantial degree. Of course the “fix” can and would be forward-looking, but past contracts would only be subject to congressional action (which can impair contracts, but may in some cases be a taking).
