Proceeding contribution from Richard Shepherd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

My right hon. Friend's observations on the connection with the Supreme Court under Marshall draw an interesting parallel. Those occurrences turned on the interpretation of the constitution and the words ““we the people””. The phrase ““we the people”” overrode the rights of the states, and it was through that entry in the constitution that the relationship was changed between the federal Government and the states.
