Did it affect interstate commerce?
- centimeter 6y agoNot sure why you're getting downvoted, it's a good joke - this is one of the two standards (along with "necessary and proper") that courts have used to justify ~every federal law as constitutional. Fun fact: the federal law that bans firearms in schools is based on "interstate commerce". > the firearm in question "has moved in or otherwise affects interstate commerce."[3] As nearly all firearms have moved in interstate commerce at some point in their existence, critics assert this was merely a legislative tactic to circumvent the Supreme Court's ruling.[2]
- roywiggins 6y agoI don't have a copy of the indictment, but in other police car cases they've used the fact that the car itself was imported, therefore destroying it affects international commerce.
