Supreme Court 9-0 Unanimous Decision Creates Immediate Constitutional Commerce Clause Challenge!

The video argues that the Fifth Circuit’s en banc rehearing in U.S. v. Squire could become a major Commerce Clause test for the federal felon-in-possession law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). It says the case is driven less by a Second Amendment challenge than by a direct attack on Congress’s authority to regulate purely intrastate firearm possession based only on a gun’s past movement across state lines. The transcript frames the defendant’s brief as asking either for the statute to be held unconstitutional as applied/facially under Lopez and Morrison, or for the court to interpret the law more narrowly to require a present interstate-commerce connection. It emphasizes that Justice Thomas’s concurrence in another case prompted the en banc review and warns that the outcome could significantly affect federal gun prosecutions and broader Commerce Clause doctrine.
