Statutory term analysis

Statutory term analysis

Statutory term analysys 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 all law per Article I, section 8, clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution (The 'Congress' Power To Make All Laws' clause). The Statutory Term Analysis (STA) method includes using only the text of the [http://www.gpoaccess.gov/crecord/index.html 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.
