A bait business operator violated a Maine law by importing live baitfish from outside the state, leading to a federal indictment for violating the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981. The operator argued that Maine's import ban on live baitfish unconstitutionally burdens interstate commerce and cannot form the basis for a federal prosecution under the Lacey Act. The Supreme Court had to decide whether the import ban was constitutional or not.
