Brief Filed By Clark Counsel On Ratification Power
Washington January 20 Counsel supporting Judge Clark of New Jersey hold ing the prohibition amendment valid filed in the supreme court an exhaustive brief for tomorrow's oral argument. The brief argues Congress lacks discretion to submit proposed constitutional amendments to state legislatures or conventions and that the people alone could grant the power to the federal government. It contends the eighteenth amendment was not to be ratified by legislatures but by people via state conventions and notes Congress had no power to enact the related indictment over transportation and possession.
