    I just submitted an amicus brief pro se supporting respondents in
Carabell v. Army Corps of Engineers, to be argued this term.  The brief
argues taht original intent has almost no states rights in it, and that
power of Congress to protect wetlands and clean water is to be
determined under "general welfare" clause and not "regulation of
commerce."    It also argues that "general welfare" is political
question, to be decided by Congress and not by the Court.
         If you would enjoy seeing the argument please reply off line.
