United States v. Lopez was a landmark Supreme Court case on federalism, which struck down Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 as violative of the Interstate Commerce Clause. It was one of the cases that the Rehnquist Court began to turn the tide towards states' rights after the New Deal, which has previously enlarged the federal commerce power dramatically. The decision was written by Justice William Rehnquist.
