He said in the Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha. a decision in 1983as I recall. it is on the oneHouse vetothe court said: The fact that a given law or procedure is efficient. convenient and useful in facilitating functions of government standing alone will not save it if It is contrary to the Constitution. Convenience and efficiency are not the primary objectives or the hallmarks of democratic government.
