The Columbia City Council took up a bill Monday night that would repeal a measure it passed Nov. 7 granting mobile home park residents three months of rent-free living at a park slated for closure.
In a memo to the council, city attorney Fred Boeckmann said the legislation is in violation of article 1, section 13 of the state constitution, which prohibits the enactment of laws that impair the obligation of contracts.

Sen. Chris Buttars recently stated that he intends to introduce legislation that would require Senate confirmation each time a state judge's term comes to an end. Presently, the voters elect to retain or not retain the judge. Sen. Buttars' idea is a bad idea. Article V, Section 1, of the Utah Constitution written in 1896 states:
The powers of the government of the State of Utah shall be divided into three distinct departments, the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial; and no person charged with the exercise of powers properly belonging to one of these departments, shall exercise any functions appertaining to either of the others, except in the cases herein expressly directed or permitted.

The Columbia City Council is scheduled to take a final vote Tuesday on a measure that would repeal a recently approved ordinance that grants three months of free rent to mobile home park residents if the property owner closes the park -- a policy that the city attorney said violates the Missouri Constitution.
The council passed the rent abatement ordinance at its Nov. 7 meeting. After the passage of the measure, city attorney Fred Boeckmann found that the measure violates Article 1, Section 13 of the constitution, which prohibits the enactment of laws that impair the obligation of current contracts.

The late Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., fought fiercely to prevent presidents from grabbing powers that belong to Congress - especially the right to declare war, specified in Article 1, Section 8 of Byrd's beloved U.S. Constitution.
If the former West Virginia senator were alive today, he probably would berate President Obama for sending U.S. missiles and aircraft into Libya without a congressional vote.

ACORN in trouble but with their backs up against the wall they are starting to fight back. ACORN employees are circling the wagons and vow to come out this stronger and better. Bolsetering their confidence is a recent Congressional Research Service analysis surrounding last week's ACORN ban passed in the House and found the measure could be interpreted as a "bill of attainder" and unconstitutional. A bill of attainder is a bill that is passed in order to punish or to help one person or group and according to Article 1 of the Constitution a no-no.
