Professor Rotunda Publishes Op-Ed on Stimulus
March 15, 2009
Professor Ronald Rotunda published an op-ed in Chicago Tribune, entitled, “Some strings attached: Is the stimulus law constitutional?” The article discusses constitutionality issues surrounding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. As Professor Rotunda explains, “It gives billions of dollars to the states, but the gift has strings attached. One of its unique provisions changes state constitutions! That provision is unconstitutional, and its defect raises problems about the whole enterprise.” Read op-ed… A number of commentators picked up on Professor Rotunda’s op-ed piece including: Powerline (“Is the stimulus bill unconstitutional?”); American Thinker ( “Is the stimulus bill unconstitutional?”); and, Reason (“You will be stimulated!”).
