Statutory term analysis is a method of analyzing a statutory term in a law to ensure that it is Congress, not a judge, who has the power to make laws under Article I, section 8, clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution (the Necessary and Proper Clause). The Statutory Term Analysis (STA) method includes using only the text of the United States Congressional Record as evidence of the legal meaning of a term in a federal statute and provides new detailed federal rules of evidence to a judge on how the judge (or judges) is to consider the timing, weight, and order of analysis of that evidence in the court-issued opinion.
Famous quotes containing the words term and/or analysis:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
