and the Privileges and Immunities Clause; plaintiffs have standing the
challenge the Missouri Liquor Control Act; however, the district court did
not err in dismissing the action for failure to state viable claims under
either the dormant Commerce Clause or the Privileges and Immunities Clause
when construed together with Section 2 of the Twenty-First Amendment.
