Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the decisions of the district court and the court of appeals, that the commerce element of the Hobbs Act is satisfied by the robbery of moneys intended to be used to purchase drugs, unjustifiably expand the scope of this Court's holding in Taylor v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2074, 2079, 195 L.Ed.2d 456 (2016), that the element is satisfied by the robbery of drugs or drug proceeds, and should this Court grant certiorari in order to determine the important question of federal law of whether the holding of Taylor goes so far as to encompass the robbery of moneys intended to be used to purchase drugs?
