== Intellectual property ==
Dear Mr. Schlafly,
You wrote: "Intellectual Property Power: Congress sets the laws for patents, copyrights and trademarks, which are called “intellectual property” because they are abstract products of intelligence rather than physical property." Strictly speaking, Congressional authority to make trademark law comes from the Commerce Clause, not the Copyright & Patent Clause. See [http://www.uspto.gov/about/index.jsp] ("The USPTO registers trademarks based on the Commerce Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3).").
