Kagan, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, dissenting.
FWIW, I agree with the decision. We are criminalizing way too much behavior in America today. Throwing a fish back in the ocean is a federal crime? Seriously?
I am surprised by Kennedy. He is usually of a more practical and somewhat libertarian bent.
It is a stupid law, and we are criminalizing way too much, but do you really want the supreme court to act based on that criteria? It is a dangerous invitation to judicial activism. Laws like this need to be killed legislatively, not judicially.
