U.S. v. Sanders

In prosecution on charge of violation of Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, defendant argued that said Act was unconstitutional since, according to defendant, its registration requirement exceeded congressional authority under Commerce Clause by imposing nationwide registration even for convictions involving state, rather than federal offenses. Ct. of Appeals, in rejecting defendant's argument, found that Act contained sufficient connection to interstate commerce since violation occurred only when individual crossed state line and failed to register as sex offender.
