Congress shall have power? That doesn't sound right to me. I thought the US Constitution was based on stuff the government is not allowed to do, not on stuff it's allowed to do.
I don't know but I have a bad feeling about the way this amendment is written. I think it could be abused by the government in ways we're not expecting right now.
- Arnor 12y agoThe phrase "Congress shall have power" occurs 3 times in the original constitution and another eight times in the various amendments. I agree that congress is probably not the best body for setting campaign finance regulations, but I don't think there's anything in this particular amendment that's out of line with the rest of the constitution.
