 An Overview of the Congressional Record (part of LLSDC's Legislative Source Book)
The legal authority for publishing the Congressional Record is found in Title 44 USC 901-910.
The text of bills, as passed by a chamber, are normally published in the Record, but generally the text of bills as introduced, reported, or enrolled for the President's signature, are not published in the Record.
By unanimous request such material was frequently placed in the main body of the Senate proceedings, but this was seldom the case in the proceedings of the House.

It is recorded that one of the Supreme Court Justices, Grier, protested against the action of the Court as follows:
Speaker, arrogantly ignoring clear-cut expressions in the Constitution of the United States, the declared intent of its drafters notwithstanding, our unelected Federal judges read out prohibitions of the Constitution of the United States by adopting the fuzzy haze of the 14th Amendment to legislate their personal ideas, prejudices, theories, guilt complexes, aims, and whims.

 Bruce Fein -- 3 published articles opposing Akaka bill inserted into Congressional Record by Senator Kyl on March 17, ...
Attorney General Bennett incorrectly argues that the Supreme Court has interpreted the Indian Commerce Clause to endow Congress with plenary ``power to deal with those it finds to be Indian Tribes.
It is not because Native Hawaiians should be cherished less but that equality under the law should be loved more that the Akaka Bill to create a race-based government should be opposed.
During the period from October 2004 through March 2005 he became aware of the dangers of the Hawaiian Government Reorganization bill S.147 (also known as the Akaka bill) and published three major articles opposing the bill.
