The Volokh Conspiracy - -

The Volokh Conspiracy - -: "Is the Stimulus Bill Constitutional?

This week, Governor Mark Sanford announced that South Carolina will reject a large chunk of the stimulus funds targeted for his state. The state legislature may disagree. If so, this could set up a confrontation over the constitutionality of the stimulus, specifically the provision that purports to enable state legislatures to bypass Governors and accept funds on behalf of their state. Professor Ron Rotunda doubts this provision is constitutional."

Beth flags this Volokh Conspiracy thread that follows the Rotunda piece I linked below. I think this one will end up before the US Supreme Court.
