With the US Senate opening 2019 with a bill aimed at protecting
Israel from boycott, similar state-level laws are facing opposition. One
newspaper in Arkansas is suing the state, calling the boycott ban
unconstitutional.
Given that the government

wall at the Mexican border, one would imagine the first piece of
legislation rolled out by the Senate this year would prioritize breaking
the impasse and ending the shutdown. Not so.Instead, S.1 is a collection of foreign policy measures aimed at strengthening military cooperation between the US and Jordan, reiterating opposition to Syrian leader Bashar Assad, appropriating foreign aid money for Israel, and – most controversially – giving state and local government the authority to refuse to do business with firms that boycott Israel...........https://www.rt.com/usa/448255-senate-israel-boycott-law/
