NPR's Corey Flintoff reports that President Clinton today said that his administration would look for a way to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling. Earlier this week, the high court struck down a federal law that prohibited guns within 1000 feet of a schoolyard, saying that the Congress does not have the power to create such a law under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The President said that keeping schools safe should be a priority for the nation and charged the Attorney General with finding a way to continue enforcing the law.
