Abstract

This commentary previews an upcoming Supreme Court case, Bond v. United States. What started as an act of revenge by a jealous wife will require the Supreme Court to examine a ninety-year old precedent concerning the extent of Congress's powers when acting pursuant to a treaty and whether a valid treaty allows Congress to act without being limited by the Article I enumerated powers.
