And then they will require that every new bill contain a statement by the lawmaker who wrote it citing the constitutional authority to enact the proposed legislation. Call it the tea party-ization of Congress. http://www.worthynews.com/top/washingtonpost-com-wp-dyn-content-article-2010-12-29-AR2010122901402_pf-html/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
