The House leadership, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and company, is moving forward with bills that undermine the U.S. Constitution. In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a ruling that would have given native Hawaiians "sovereignty." New legislation that would have a similar effect has been quietly introduced under the name "Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunity Act." The bill could lead to exempting Hawaiians from the Constitution and allowing them to create their own race-based government. A second proposal, which would give the District of Columbia its own representative in the House, has come under fire from the White House for being "unconstitutional." The measure has already passed through two House committees and Pelosi vows to secure the bill's approval on the floor. Finally, as if there weren't enough hot air in Congress this week, Al Gore is paying a visit to Capitol Hill to offer his flawed research as grounds for U.S. climate change legislation. He was invited to testify before a joint subcommittee despite the fact that scientists are increasingly critical of his methods and conclusions.
