Robert Higgs on the congressional investigation into alleged steroid use of Roger Clemens

Where in the Constitution does it say that Congress may interfere in the internal affairs of a private baseball league or its players? How exactly have these vainglorious congressional publicity hounds come by the idea that their jurisdiction has no limits?

Roger Clemens on steroid use allegations by Andy Pettitte

Once again, Mr. Congressman, I think he (Andy Pettitte) misremembers the conversation that we had. Andy and I's relationship was close enough to know that if I would have known that he had done HGH, which I now know, if he was knowingly knowing that I had taken HGH, we would have talked about the subject. He'd have come to me to ask me about the effects of it.
