Republican Congresses Pass 63% 20
OF Unconstitutional Laws

Denouncing efforts to sell the
people on their idea that the Demo-
Gratis have never had proper re-
gard for the constitution, Congress
man Johnn w. Flanagan, jr., OF
Virginia, suggested on the floor OF
the house that "the record speak.
During our 146 years of national
life he summarized from the rec
ord, "the supreme court has declar-
ed 81 acts of congress unconstitu-
tional. Only 20, or around 20 per-
cent, were passed by Democratic
congresses. On the other hand
Republican congresses, who we are
now told are the guardians of the
constitution, passed AZ, or about
63 percent, four were passed by a
Republican senate and Democratic
house and one by the first congress.
which was non-partisan. lThe Re-
publican party first gained control
in 1861 or IA years ago.
1'Now that is a pretty good rec
ord, especially when you consider
the fact that we have had 33 DEM
ocratic congresses, 27 Republican
congresses, one Whig congress, one
non-partisan and II congresses
when senate and house were con-
trolled by different parties"
After citing all of the 81 laws
which have been declared unconsti-
tutional and the dates, the Vir-
ginian continued:
During the term of office of the
greatest Republican president, the
immortal Abraham Lincoln, when he
had a Republican senate and Re-
publican house, seven acts were
passed that were later declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
