Almont Shipping Co. v. Ruffin

"The commerce clause power ... is broad enough to extend [federal] jurisdiction to local waters which may provide habitat to migratory birds and endangered species." | We do not enforce the plain language of a statute only when “a literal interpretation would lead to an absurd result or thwart the purpose of the overall statutory scheme” | “[Sjpecific language will not be controlled by general language when the general language is not even explicit.” | "The commerce clause power ... is broad enough to extend [federal] jurisdiction to local waters which may provide habitat to migratory birds and endangered species."
