How the federal government turned an Amish feud into a federal police state action, and now 15 Amish men face prison time for an act resembling a college prank: shaving hair and beards.
"The government also had to cite an "interstate nexus" to justify federal prosecution. You might think that would be a challenge, since all of these crimes occurred within a single state. But hey, look, Dettelbach says: The "Wahl battery-operated hair clippers" used in the assaults "were purchased at Walmart and had travelled in and affected interstate commerce in that they were manufactured in Dover, Delaware.""It would be funny if it wasn't so destructive.
