John Eastman, Director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, represented Rancho Viejo, LLC in litigation asserting that the federal Endangered Species Act's application to the non-commerical Arroyo Toad exceeds the commerce clause authority of the federal government. The Supreme Court ultimately declined to review the case, after rulings by the lower courts that Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce includes the power to regulate non-commercial, wholly interstate species.
