This will be my last post on this matter since talking to you is like talking to a wall. I "claim" that it requires Congressional approval because it says "shall be subject to the approval of the Congress". It´s not as if I'm pulling this "claim" out of thin air; it´s right there in black and white, in plain English. There isn´t much to interpret here.
I also find it interesting that you keep bringing up the courts decision, or rather nondecision, in this matter. Are you telling me that courts in this country always hold true to the laws of this country? Are they not notorious for ignoring laws they don't like and basing their decisions on laws that don't even exist? I would think that anyone who has spent any amount of time here on FR would know better than that. Your arguement is extremely weak if you're basing the premise that New is wrong on the court's inaction. When the Constitution says that it is legal for the courts to ignore the law, and make up their own laws, I will go along with your arguement; but right now I'll just stick to listening to legal, Constitutionally supported, legislation.
No, what I am saying is that I trust the court's opinion on this matter over your's. I had thought I made that clear.
I admit that I haven't been following New and his abuse of the legal system lately so I'll confess that I'm a bit out of touch. Maybe you would know, since you're such a supporter of his. Did New ever get any prison time for that second drug arrest?
