Constitutional Review

Requesting: court order declaring an item, to the point of the inconsistency, unconstitutional

Describe the relevant facts as you hold them to be: Article II of L.R. 055 directly contradicts the constitutional right to personal privacy. Through Article II Section I, Congress is given the powers to call individuals to testimony before Congress. Article II Section IV goes on to elaborate that: "Individuals subject to a subpoena must obey every aspect of the subpoena by 14 days of its enactment". Considering testimony is an ample term, Congress has the ability to request any information from an individual, including information one might consider to be personal. Since individuals are required to "obey every aspect" of the subpoena, refusing to reveal personal information would be considered a violation of the law. As such, it can be established that the law directly contradicts the rights of individuals by forcing them to reveal information which they by no means need to as per the Constitution.
