John Shadegg, R-<SPAN class="SpellE">Ariz</SPAN>., has introduced the Enumerated Powers Act (HR 1359).
The Act, which has yet to be enacted into law, reads: "Each Act of
Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional
authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure
to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House
of Congress. The availability of this point of order does not affect any other
available relief." <O:P _moz-userdefined=""></O:P></SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/07/congressionalconstitutionalcontempt.htm"><SPAN>I salute the bravery of Rep. Shadegg and the 28 co-sponsors of the
Enumerated Powers Act. They have a monumental struggle. Congress is not alone
in its constitutional contempt, but is joined by the White House and
particularly the constitutionally derelict U.S. Supreme Court.<O:P _moz-userdefined=""></O:P></SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4AD83580-603D-4B5D-BC42-FE6F68369967/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
