How to Fix Congress

[Aurielius]

In US v. Perez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), US v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000), the Court limited Congress' commerce regulating power as overreaching into States' police rights. The buck would have continued in Gonzalez v. Raich if not for Scalia being butthurt over marijuana.

 

The issue of States' rights is hardly dead, the fact that it is about to pop up again in US v. Arizona and US v. Alabama is tantamount to that..

Ok first off it's Lopez not Perez and both were extreme stretches, if violation of the Commerce Clause is the best you can dredge up after searching the net, then you really are just being contentious. In the first case it dealt with carrying a gun in a school zone violating Federal Law and the second was a civil suit dealing with violations of federal civil rights in a sexual assault case in Virginia. Neither case reaffirmed the primacy of States Rights over federalism both dealt with the limits to the Commerce Clause. This has little or nothing to do with fixing congress which is the actual thread, if you are so hot to trot over state's rights..then start your own thread.
