United States Sixth Circuit
Tennessee Scrap Recyclers Assoc. v. Bredesen, 085824
In case brought by scrap dealers to enjoin enforcement of a state ordinance requiring scrap metal dealers to "tag and hold" the scrap metal they acquire for a period of ten days, denial of injunction is affirmed over claims that the ordinance: 1) violates the dormant commerce clause of the Constitution, either as a direct regulation of interstate commerce or an undue burden upon it; 2) takes property without just compensation; 3) akes property without procedural due process; and 4) violates federal law by restricting the use of legal tender and infringing upon the federal power to coin money.
