CONGRESS ADMITS fT
Soon after the 1954 ruling of th& Supreme Court making school intergation “the law of the7land”, this paper came forth with a modest proposal to^save U. S. taxpayers untold billions of dollars^, i.
Historically, the role of COTgress has been to enact legislation, and the role of the Supreme Court has been to interpret this legislation. Since 1954, however, it has been apparent that the Court has assumed the duties of Congress, and that the immense cost of maintaining our Federal legislature is no longer a partial, but a complete waste.
We presume our modest proposal is still fermenting in the subconscious mind of America and \jdll burst forth, eventually, in proper porm. Senator Dirkson, by introducing his so called civil rights bill into Congress, should certainly accelerate this progpfess. Section 4 of his bill would recognize the 1954 CourFdecision as the law of the land. How could Congress more frankly admit that it is already six years behind the Court in passing laws? Why do we continue to support this duplicating process? In another decade the Court will have passed so many laws, Congress will never catch up. We repeat, it is hifffi time to eliminate the wasteful expense of maintaining a United States Congress.
