Years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional for
states to collect sales tax on out of state sales. I wonder what has
changed?


What has changed is your understanding of sales tax, the law, and the
ruling by the courts.

The Supreme Court did NOT rule it unconstitutional for states to collect
sales taxes on sales made from out-of-state vendors. What the Court did
(Quill v. North Dakota, 1992) was to prevent states from collecting from the
*vendor*. They can still collect from the buyer -- or they can try, which
doesn't work very well. g
