Rehnquist to Congress: Stop Federalizing Crime
On New Year's Eve day, Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court William Rehnquist delivered his annual end-of-
year report on the judiciary to Congress. His message to
legislators, spoken in blunt terms, was to stop making a
federal case out of every crime that hits the headlines,
overburdening the federal judiciary in the process.
MJ:
Listed in the Constitution as (federal) crimes ARE:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 6:
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the
Securities and current Coin of the United States;
Article I, Section 8, Clause 10:
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed
on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of
Nations;
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17:
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases
whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten
Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular
States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become
the Seat of the Government of the United States,
and to exercise like Authority over all Places
purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of
the State in which the Same shall be, for the
Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards,
and other needful Buildings;--And
So unless it is in DC, on the high seas, between nations OR
counterfeiting ... it is plainly stated that ALL crime is
local.
Another exposure of the vast usurpation of powers not bestowed
upon the US Government.
Regard$,
--MJ
Congress cannot, under pretext of executing delegated power, pass
laws for the accomplishment of objects not entrusted to the Federal
Government. -- Linder v. US, 268 US 5, 17 (1925).
