Just when you thought there was nothing left for Congress to federalize, along comes a bill by Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) that would regulate how Americans use their cell phones while driving. Apparently no human action is too small or parochial for the federal government to police. So now Congress wants to play the role of local traffic cop, too.
