![]() Jason Chaffetz, (R) (Image by wickenden) Details DMCA | Republicans misuse of power to control DC residents. "Call it what it is: This week's 20-to-16 party-line vote in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to disapprove the District's Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act is an outright abuse of power. True, Congress, by virtue of Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution, has jurisdiction "in all cases whatsoever" over the District. But the committee's action, prompted by Republican chairman Jason Chaffetz, was an improper use of that authority." |
