Further Discussion of Congress' Power to Enforce Treaties
Michael Ramsey
The discussion of Bond v. United States and Congress' power to implement treaties continued this week at Volokh Conspiracy with these entries:
Rick Pildes: Does Congress Have the Power to Enforce Treaties, Part IV
Ilya Somin: The Constitution and the Enforcement of Peace Treaties
Eugene Kontorovich: Peace Treaties and the War Power
Nick Rosenkranz: Missouri v. Holland: The Intellectual History that Preceded the Holding
Nick Rosenkranz: There Is No Basis in Constitutional Text for the Claim that a Treaty Can Increase the Legislative Powers of Congress
Nick Rosenkranz: Missouri v. Holland vs. Reid v. Covert (note: anyone who thinks Congress obviously has power to enforce treaties beyond its enumerated powers needs to have an answer to this one).
Further note: Josh Blackman had these thoughts on the Missouri v. Holland/Reid v. Covert puzzle a while back.
