Only Minimal Impact on Commerce Needed for Attempted Bombing

This report discusses the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in the United States v.

This decision seems to reflect a growing willingness of federal appellate courts to read broadly Congress's Commerce Clause powers.
