I can't see how this new law would hurt small sellers, though.  Since
only the companies making more than a million per year will have to
charge/pay taxes on inter-state sales, if anything, it gives an
advantage to the folks selling under that range.

Don't be so naive. This bill allows states to make all sellers collect taxes on their behalf and there is no real one million dollar exclusion: read the small print.  Just like the Affordable Healthcare Act was supposed make healthcare affordable.  Instead it was just one massive deceptive tax increase that will punish those who can least afford healthcare with fines. 

I have no idea why the feds are involved in state business in the first place.  It is all driven by weak politicians who are being pressured by large companies like Amazon who want online market share.

At least here in Nevada, there are no state corporate taxes.
