United States v. Alderman
565 F.3d 641 (9th Cir. 2009)
Key Principle
18 U.S.C. §931, criminalizing a violent felon's possession of body armor sold or offered for sale in interstate commerce, is a valid Commerce Clause exercise because its express jurisdictional element, satisfied under Scarborough by the armor's prior interstate movement, supplies the requisite commerce nexus.
