Oh this is just wonderful....
This means that legally I can get 
1)taxed TWICE for the same purchase. CA attempts to collect
  "use" tax on items purchased out-of-state.

2)Get taxed without representation. As a CA resident you better believe
  I cannot vote in an IL election. Wasn't this what caused us to
  cede from G.B. somewhere around 1776? (1/2 :-) )
 
Methinks the IL legislation better take a closer look a that law.
