Question Presented (from Petition)
The federal Hobbs Act "makes it a crime for a person to affect commerce, or attempt to do so, by robbery." Taylor v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2074, 2077 (2016). The question presented is: Does Hobbs Act jurisdiction extend to a local robbery, of a local individual not engaged in interstate commerce or any federally regulated activity, by a defendant from the same state who facilitated the robbery through a false used car listing on a local Craigslist website, simply because that local site was theoretically accessible to out-of-state readers and the listing advertised a "commercial transaction"?
