   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1165
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Ft. Smith   
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Even if the constitutionality of 42 U.S.C. Sec. 16913 is doubtful under the Commerce Clause alone, the enabling necessary and proper clause reveals the statute is constitutionally authorized because the registration requirements of the statute are part of the constitutional power of Congress to punish sex offenders who cross state lines; enforcement of the registration requirement is a valid exercise of the Commerce Clause and defendant has not clearly demonstrated the lack of constitutional authority for Congress to enact 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2250(a)(2)(B).
