Posted by Jonathan Adler: Court Takes Commerce Clause Case: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_06_21-2009_06_27.shtml#1245680809
This morning the Supreme Court accepted cert in United States v. Comstock, a commerce clause challenge to post-sentence civil commitment of sex offenders. This case will be the first test of the Roberts Court's commitment to the federalism principles embraced (even if somewhat inconsistently) by the Rehnquist Court. The cert papers are on SCOTUSBlog [1]here. Our prior posts on the case are [2]here. I'd post more, but I'm in Montana at the moment. Maybe I'll be able to put up one of our bear pictures too.
