QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. The Commerce Clause supports a federal prosecution of robbery when the robber targeted the victim to steal assets presently involved in interstate commerce, such as drugs or drug proceeds. Did the court err by concluding the Commerce Clause also supports such a prosecution when the defendant targeted the victim simply to steal cash, unaware that the cash was presently involved in interstate commerce? 2. Did the Court of Appeals misapply the lenient standard for certifying an issue for appeal because it justified denying a certificate by assuming a putative “fact” contradicted by the record? ii
