To modify the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect to abortion.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 12, 1995
Mr. DORNAN introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To modify the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect
to abortion.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The judiciary has the sole right to place an
authoritative interpretation on the Constitution, an
interpretation that is binding on the executive and
legislative branches of government, as well as the
American people.
(2) The question of when life begins is beyond
not only the competency of the judiciary to answer
but also the authority of the court as defined in Ar-
ticle III of the United States Constitution.
(3) Roe v. Wade took from the States the au-
thority to prohibit abortion.
(4) Article III, section 2 of the Constitution
stipulates that ‘‘the Supreme Court shall have appel-
late jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such
exceptions, and under such regulations as the Con-
gress shall make’’.
(5) This exceptions clause gives the Congress
power to withdraw specific categories of cases from
the Supreme Court’s review.
(6) The Supreme Court’s position in Ex Parte
McCardle recognized that the exceptions clause gives
the Congress some meaningful power to control the
Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. In McCardle, the
Court upheld the constitutionality of a congressional
statute which withdrew the Supreme Court’s juris-
diction to hear cases arising under an 1867 habeas
corpus statute.
(7) Withdrawing the Supreme Court’s appellate
jurisdiction over abortion, and the jurisdiction over
abortion of the inferior Federal courts created by
the Congress, would take the abortion matter back
to the States and allow the people, through a repub-
lican and representative form of government, to de-
cide this issue.
SEC. 2. RESTRICTION ON JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL
COURTS.
(a) RESTRICTION ON JURISDICTION.—Notwithstand-
ing any other provision of law, the Supreme Court of the
United States, and the inferior courts established by the
Congress under Article III of the Constitution of the
United States, shall not have jurisdiction to hear, or to
review by appeal or otherwise, any case arising out of any
statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation of a State which re-
lates to abortion, or arising out of any act interpreting,
applying, or enforcing such a State statute, ordinance,
rule, or regulation.
(b) DEFINITION.—As used in this section, the term
‘‘State’’ means each of the several States and the District
of Columbia.
SEC. 3. APPLICABILITY.
Section 2 applies to any case pending on or com-
menced on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Æ
or change the classification of the pesticide under
subsection (b) and the Administrator shall proceed
to issue the notice under subsection (b) within 90
days of issuing an emergency order. If the Adminis-
trator does not issue a notice under subsection (b)
within 90 days of issuing an emergency order, the
emergency order shall expire.’’; and
(2) by striking ‘‘In that case’’ and inserting ‘‘In
the case of an emergency order’’.
SEC. 103. TOLERANCE REEVALUATION AS PART OF REREG-
ISTRATION.
Section 4(g)(2) (7 U.S.C. 136a–1(g)(2)) is amended
by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(E) As soon as the Administrator has
sufficient information with respect to the die-
tary risk of a particular active ingredient, but
in any event no later than the time the Admin-
istrator makes a determination under subpara-
graph (C) or (D) with respect to pesticides con-
taining a particular active ingredient, the Ad-
ministrator shall—
‘‘(i) reassess each associated tolerance
and exemption from the requirement for a
tolerance issued under section 408 of the
to this subparagraph in regard to such unsup-
ported minor use until the final deadline estab-
lished as of the date of enactment of the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996, for the submis-
sion of data under this section for the sup-
ported uses identified pursuant to this subpara-
graph unless the Administrator determines that
the absence of the data is significant enough to
cause human health or environmental concerns.
On the basis of such determination, the Admin-
istrator may refuse the request for extension by
the registrant. Upon receipt of the request from
the registrant, the Administrator shall publish
in the Federal Register a notice of the receipt
of the request and the effective date upon which
the uses not being supported will be voluntarily
deleted from the registration pursuant to sec-
tion 6(f)(1). If the Administrator grants an ex-
tension under this subparagraph, the Adminis-
trator shall monitor the development of the
data for the uses being supported and shall en-
sure that the registrant is meeting the schedule
for the production of such data. If the Adminis-
trator determines that the registrant is not
meeting or has not met the schedule for the
duction of such data. If the Administrator
determines that the registrant is not meet-
ing or has not met the schedule for the pro-
duction of such data, the Administrator
may proceed in accordance with clause (iv)
of this subparagraph regarding the contin-
ued registration of the affected products
with the minor and other uses and shall in-
form the public of such action in accordance
with section 6(f)(2). Notwithstanding the
provisions of this clause, the Administrator
may deny, modify, or revoke the temporary
extension under this subparagraph if the
Administrator determines that the continu-
ation of the minor use may cause an unrea-
sonable adverse effect on the environment.
In the event of modification or revocation,
the Administrator shall provide, in writing,
to the registrant a notice revoking the tem-
porary extension and establish a new effec-
tive date by which the minor use shall be
deleted from the registration.’’.
(g) Section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)) is amended—
(1) in paragraph (1)(C)(ii) by striking ‘‘90-day’’
each place it appears and inserting ‘‘180-day’’; and
affordable and equitable access to safe 
water, sanitation, and hygiene in devel-
oping countries; and 
(ii) improve the effectiveness and tar-
geting of United States assistance pro-
grams undertaken in support of that strat-
egy; 
(C) codifies Target 10 of the United Na-
tions Millennium Development Goals; and 
(D) seeks to reduce by half between 1990 
(the baseline year) and 2015— 
(i) the proportion of people who are 
unable to reach or afford safe drinking 
water; and 
(ii) the proportion of people without 
access to basic sanitation. 
(2) For maximum effectiveness of assistance, 
safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene must be 
coordinated with and reflected in programs and 
strategies for food security, global health, environ-
ment, education, gender equality, and conflict pre-
vention and mitigation.
