“I received a letter from Professor Sullivan yesterday in which she notes: I have had the opportunity to read your remarks in the floor proceedings yesterday, and agree with you completely that it would be imprudent to pass the [Balanced Budget] Amendment in the mere unfounded hope that courts would not entertain lawsuits arising under it. Addressing the judicial review issue squarely, as you did, is plainly a step in the right direction. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the letter from Professor Sullivan and the article in the Post be printed in the Record. Mr. President, I am pleased that the Senate overwhelmingly adopted the amendment to limit judicial review under the balanced budget amendment. My amendment will ensure that no court interjects itself into the balanced budget process except as specifically authorized by Congress.”
