United States, 818 F.3d 651 (11 Cir 2016), cert denied, 137 S.Ct. 850, 851 (Thomas, J. dissenting) (U.S. Mar. 6, 2017).

Excerpt from Batson v. United States (Justice Thomas, dissenting from the denial of certiori):

The Court of Appeals correctly noted that this Court has never "thoroughly explored the scope of the Foreign Commerce Clause." 818 F. 3d, at 667; accord, e.g., Goodno, When the Commerce Clause Goes International: A Proposed Legal Framework for the Foreign Commerce Clause,65 Fla. L. Rev. 1139, 1148–1149 (2013) ("The U. S. Supreme Court has not yet articulated the extent of Congress's power under the Foreign Commerce Clause to enact laws with extraterritorial reach. Because of this lack of guidance . . . lower courts are at a loss for how to analyze Foreign Commerce Clause issues").
