Interesting commentary:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
If we are serious about restoring something like the
original Constitution, the whole D.C. pea patch has to
be ripped up and plowed under. Even the centralizing
liberals on the court recognize that the federal
government is nothing like what the founding generation
imagined:
"If the framers would be surprised to see states
subjected to suit in their own courts under the
commerce power," writes Justice David Souter in his
dissent, "they would be astonished by the reach of
Congress under the Commerce Clause generally. The
proliferation of government, state and Federal, would
amaze the framers, and the administrative state with its
reams of regulations would leave them rubbing their
eyes." Indeed, imagine "the framers' surprise at, say, the
Fair Labor Standards Act, or the Federal
Communications Commission, or the Federal Reserve
Board. ..."[/quote]
