Boiking doesn't think he needs anyone's permission to do anything.

Tyrants are like that.

Think about that.

Greatest thread ever.

Greatest thread ever.

If this is true...doesn't that bother you, Zona?
Has politics gone this far?

 

[hjmick]

Everyone, left, right and center, should find this troublesome...

This is what happens when the office of the president has been usurped by a ineligible person. The founders warned us of such a possibility and that is why they suggested nothing but a natural born citizen be commander of the american armies with only sole allegiance to the U.S. Obama is trampling the Constitution.

 

[WillowTree]

Well then,, Congress don't need to fund his fucking war now do they? Newp. They hold the purse strings. Yep.

This has nothing to do with this damn birth certificate. It's completely irrelevant to the conversation. Talk about the issue at hand or go find another thread.

I agree. I would have had a problem if President Bush had done this, Heck, I would have had a problem if President Washington had done this. This is completely wrong and violates the checks and balances of this nation.

This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last when an administration's interpretation of the War Powers Act differs with congressional interpretation. The Supreme Court will never hear the case. Even if a court ruled against the administration, Congress would be very unlikely to end US participation.

Much ado about nothing.

Greatest thread ever.

Sure is.

It proves that obama and you care nothing for the law.

so, how does it feel to support a blood thirsty tyrant?

I hope there's a BIPARTISAN call for IMPEACHMENT.

I hope there's a BIPARTISAN call for IMPEACHMENT.

I don't.

I hope obama wise's up and gets the hell out of Lybia.

So we can get someone more incompetant in the White House? Biden is safer as VP.

We just need to shut down Obama and stop him from these abuses of power.

i hope there's a bipartisan call for impeachment.

i don't.

I hope obama wise's up and gets the hell out of lybia.

Correct. Presidents since Truman have done this.

And in a broader context, this is the consequence of Congress abdicating its Constitutionally mandated authority to alone declare war. Congress has only itself to blame; any Executive would take this gift and never give it back. This is the result of Congress’ cowardice.

Since the courts refuse to get involved in an intra-branch squabble, there’ll be no determination as to the legality of the Executives’ actions.

 

[Missourian]

Does Obama's hypocrisy know no bounds?

 

[Sallow]

Well then,, Congress don't need to fund his fucking war now do they? Newp. They hold the purse strings. Yep.

Oh..I agree.

Vote to defund Republicans!

Please!!!

Write your congress person. Demand it.

Not so sure about that this time around. Many of the Tea Party Republicans are very radical.

And, unknowingly, they may aid those who feel that there needs to be a more responsible process for this country in terms of conducting a good methodolgy for assessing when force is to be used.
