Biased legal opinion means NOTHING....."legal experts" have been attacking the Constitution for decades to wrest power from the people and invest it in "government" for fun and profit on the backs of us citizens.
Show us where in the Constitution the government has the right to demand that info from him for ANY reason. The bill of rights is quite clear on privacy and the restrictions on governments ability to interfere contained therein.
It's called: "Evolutionary Powers" The "elastic," or implied powers, clause gives Congress the authority to pass laws it deems "necessary and proper" to carry out its enumerated functions.Many Congressional powers that have evolved over the years are based on this important clause. Here are a couple.
1 Oversight of the budget
2 INVESTIGATION. Congress may investigate both issues that warrant study and wrongdoings by public officials. Through COMMITTEE HEARINGS, Congress has examined issues such as crime, consumer safety, health care, and foreign trade. Although Congress must abide by protected individual rights, their committees have examined many allegations against elected officials. Famous recent investigations include the WHITEWATER and the Clinton-Lewinsky hearings.
