BATCHELDER, J. (pp. 129-37), delivered a separate dissenting opinion.
MOORE, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents us with another in a continuing series of challenges to Congress’s authority, after United States v. Lopez, — U.S. -, 115 S.Ct. 1624, 131 L.Ed.2d 626 (1995), to enact criminal laws under the Commerce Clause. In this instance, the defendant challenges the federal carjacking statute, 18 U.S.C. § 2119, part of the Anti Car Theft Act of 1992. Because we believe § 2119 lies well within the scope of the commerce power, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
