United States V. Corp‪.‬

Patrick J. Corp pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4)(B), conditioned on Corp's ability to appeal the constitutionality of his conviction. On this appeal, Corp claims that § 2252(a)(4)(B) is unconstitutional on its face because it exceeds Congress's Commerce Clause authority, and it is also unconstitutional as applied in this case because this offense does not have a sufficient nexus with interstate commerce. For the following reasons, we find that there is an insufficient nexus between this crime and interstate commerce to hold Corp accountable under the federal statute. Thus, we REVERSE.
