They did the same thing to us on
the 10th Amendment issue too!

On July 23, 2003 Congressmen Lamar Smith and Steve Chabot announced the formation of the "House Working Group on Judicial accountability". More
information about the group can be found on the congressmens web page at the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress will be in recess during the month of August.

Back in 1995 everybody was protesting about the Feds stepping on State toes and not abiding by the 10th Amendment and unfunded mandates and all of that. We were trying to get the feds out of States business via the 10th Amendment and so they did an end run around us by passing their own 10th Amendment legislation and said there would be no more Federal mandates without federal financing to enfore or comply with their mandates.

That didn't help a bit because that simply meant that we the taxpayers have to pay more taxes for the feds to finance their mandates. The whole point was to get the Feds out of state business and let the states run their own "mandates."

We did win in a way or at least got some recognition out of the deal but we failed miserably in that we didn't get the Feds out of our lives to the extent that we wanted to.

Now it looks like they are trying to do an end run around us again. IF it happens it probably won't be anything we wanted. It will most likely just ruin what we are complaining about.

We need to call our congresscritters and see what isgoing on here and get copies of this legislation and start doing something about it before it is too late.
