The following excerpt is from Boone v. U.S., 944 F.2d 1489 (9th Cir. 1991):
The commerce clause 3 supports two distinct but often overlapping phenomena relevant to this appeal: the congressional authority to regulate the nation's interstate waterways and the federal navigational servitude. Kaiser Aetna v. United States, 444 U.S. 164, 173, 177, 100 S.Ct. 383, 389, 391, 62 L.Ed.2d 332 (1979). Clarification of this distinction is useful for the resolution of this case.
