Next meeting Thursday 10/08/2010

Thanks to all who posted some topic ideas for Junto! We've put them all in the hopper and plan to get to them in due course.

This week's topic is going to be on the Commerce Clause as a enumerated power listed in the Constitution. Misinterpretations of this clause have lead to an explosion in power used by the Federal Government. Reading for this meeting will be a talk given by Dallin H. Oaks at the University of Utah and the Wikipedia article on the Commerce Clause.

Ryan Johnson will be leading the discussion, so feel free to post possible discussion questions as comments to this thread to better prepare for Thursday.
