Without knowing more, I would expect that it is municipal law, because most of the garbage coming out of Congress these days is municipal law, under the guise of general law. Remember, there are lots of "federal citizens" inhabiting the 50 states of the Union, and that "association" is not a Republic, but a legislative democracy. So, Congress claims to have authority to legislative municipal law for them, wherever they might live and work! Remember, many activists have no clue about the true significance of municipal law, even if they have been activists for many years. This insight is a well hidden key! For background, read and refer others to "The Two United States and the Law" in the Supreme Law Library, by Howard Freeman. This is a great, vernacular introduction to this all important distinction. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 04:52 PM 6/17/97 -0700, you wrote: >> >Please contact the Judiciary Committee today, at (202) 225- >> >3951 (phone) or (202) 225-7682 (fax), and ask them to pass >> >H.R. 1835 AS ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED.
