Key said he expects HCR 1028 will pass in the Senate. HJR 1003 earlier
passed the House 83-18 and won approval in the Senate 29-18.
Key said HCR 1028, which, if passed, would be sent to Democratic President Barack Obama
and the Democratic-controlled Congress, would not jeopardize federal
funds but would tell Congress to "get back into their proper
constitutional role.” The resolution states the federal government
should "cease and desist” mandates that are beyond the scope of its
powers.
Key said many federal laws violate the 10th Amendment, which says powers not delegated to the U.S.
government "are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
The Constitution lists about 20 duties required of the U.S. government,
he said.
Congress should not be providing bailouts to financial institutions and automakers, he said. VIDEO
