Doyle Ignores Constitution

Ummm....

Governor Jim Doyle today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Wisconsin on climate change issues.  The agreement, signed by Governor Doyle and Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Minister of Parliament, promotes a working relationship between Wisconsin and the U.K. and builds upon current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote low carbon technologies.

Did Governor Doyle not study the United States Constitution in law school?

Section 10. No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation;

Wisconsin can’t legally enter into any kind of confederation with a foreign power.  He’s like a minor signing a contract.  It’s not legally binding.

UPDATE: Oops… I pasted the wrong part of the section.    This is the correct part:

No state shall, without the consent of Congress, ...enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power,....

Thanks, Steveegg.
