Hypothetical 3 [See US Constitution (Art. I, §8, Cl. 3; §9, Cl. 2)]

The Republic Senate has the power to create legislation over interplanetary commerce, including the channels, instrumentalities, individuals and droids of such commerce. The Trade Federation has formed a blockade around the planet Naboo for undetermined reasons. The Senate has dispatched two Jedis to negotiate with representatives from the Trade Federation. The negotiations fail, and the Republic Senate quickly creates a new law forbidding any blockades, and then files suit against the Trade Federation for their "flagrant" violation of that law. What result?
