“I thought especially eloquent was the gentleman who preceded me at this podium, the gentleman from Kansas.

I think just as there were volumes upon volumes, that picture spoke volumes. A couple of arguments used and one, quite candidly, that some Members of the new majority bought into, was this notion that somehow the Constitution of the United States should not be amended or amended only sparingly. I just thought it was worth going back to article 5 of the Constitution, this document of limited and enumerated powers, to see precisely what is said.”
