United States v. Morrison
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided May 15, 2000No. 99-5PublishedCited by 1,308 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Rehnquist
In these cases we consider the constitutionality of 42 U. S. C. § 13981, which provides a federal civil remedy for the *602victims of gender-motivated violence. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting en banc, struck down §13981 because it concluded that Congress lacked constitutional authority to enact the section’s civil remedy. Believing that these cases are controlled by our decisions in United States v. Lopez, 514 U. S. 549 (1995), United States v. Harris, 106 U. S. 629 (1883), and the Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. S. 3 (1888), we affirm.
