Supreme Court of the United States May 3, 1982, 80-6680 (McElroy v. United States)

Justice Stevens,

dissenting.

The words “transportation in interstate or foreign commerce” appear in a host of federal criminal statutes.1 These statutes prohibit the interstate transportation of stolen motor vehicles, forged checks, prostitutes, explosives, obscene materials, kidnap victims, counterfeit phonograph records, and numerous other items.
