HOLY S*IT: Judge cites Commerce Clause as reason law banning female genital mutilation is unconstitutional; Charges dismissed

The judge cited the Commerce Clause in his ruling, saying the “power to outlaw female genital mutilation … belonged to individual states”:

“This story should be getting more attention” is the understatement of the month:

From the Detroit Free Press:

“As laudable as the prohibition of a particular type of abuse of girls may be … federalism concerns deprive Congress of the power to enact this statute,” Friedman wrote in his 28-page opinion, noting: “Congress overstepped its bounds by legislating to prohibit FGM … FGM is a ‘local criminal activity’ which, in keeping with long-standing tradition and our federal system of government, is for the states to regulate, not Congress.”
