As a result, the Government argues that Congress could rationally have concluded that § 922(q) substantially affects interstate commerce. The Court's finding that the regulated activity had a direct enough effect on commerce has since been seen as beginning the abandonment, for practical purposes, of the formalistic distinction between direct and indirect effects.

Case Summary of United States v. Lopez: A high school senior was convicted for bringing a gun to his school, which Congress made a federal crime under the Gun Free School Zones Act. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) Holding: Separate schools are not equal. Procedure. First, we have upheld a wide variety of congressional Acts regulating intrastate economic activity where we have concluded that the activity substantially affected interstate commerce.

This book argues that Congress's process for making law is as corrosive to the nation as unchecked deficit spending. 1994); Cal. "This clause has throughout the Court's history been the chief source of its adjudications regarding federalism," and "no other body of opinions affords a fairer or more revealing test of judicial qualities." The legislation implies such a finding, and there is no reason to entertain claims that Congress acted ultra vires intentionally. 4 Debates 20. The Government acknowledges that § 922(q) "displace[s] state policy choices in ... that its prohibitions apply even in States that have chosen not to outlaw the conduct in question." In my judgment, Congress' power to regulate commerce in firearms includes the power to prohibit possession of guns at any location because of their potentially harmful use; it necessarily follows that Congress may also prohibit their possession in particular markets. Likewise, there were no laws in the early Congresses that regulated manufacturing and agriculture. U. S. ", Specifically, Congress could have found that gun-related violence near the classroom poses a serious economic threat (1) to consequently inadequately educated workers who must endure low paying jobs, see, e. g., National Center 29, and (2) to communities and businesses that might (in today's "information society") otherwise gain, from a well-educated work force, an important commercial advantage, see, e. g., Becker 10 (1992), of a kind that location near a railhead or harbor provided in the past. The Government argues that Congress has accumulated institutional expertise regarding the regulation of firearms through previous enactments. Admittedly, some of our prior cases have taken long steps down that road, giving great deference to congressional action. But even these modern-era precedents which have expanded congressional power under the Commerce Clause, confirm that this power is subject to outer limits. 1 and 2 (1987). John R. Carter argued the cause for respondent. See New York v. United States, 505 U.
