• holding that a ban on selling foie gras created by force-feeding did not discriminate against or regulate out-of-state commerce
• holding that a statute banning the sale of any product resulting from force feeding a bird, regardless of the product’s origin, was not discriminatory
• holding that California statute banning the sale of products from force-fed fowl was not directly discriminatory because it “applies to both California entities and out-of-state entities . . . regardless of where the force feeding occurred”
• finding that the Attorney General may be subject to suit under Ex Parte Young
• holding that the statute “is limited to products that are produced by force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird’s liver beyond normal size” and “does not prohibit the sale of duck breasts, down jackets, or other non-liver products from force-fed birds”
• upholding California statute banning sale of products from force-fed birds, even though it affected out-of-state producers and exports from California
