Greatest thread ever.
If this is true...doesn't that bother you, Zona?
Has politics gone this far?
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.
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, therell be no determination as to the legality of the Executives actions.

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.
LOL, the Tea Party "Republicans" are RADICAL. and the rest, sheeeesh

Guys give Obama a break, a big campaign promise he made was diplomacy and he tried it over and over again with Gaddafi before launching cruise missiles all over the country.
Oh wait, that didn't happen?

For the first time since I joined this board, I click on one of Shaman's links. I'm talking about Obama's non-diplomacy so he counters with a link that says nowhere did Obama try diplomacy, normally when you counter someone you try to prove them wrong rather than prove them right.
So that'll be the first and last time I click on a Shaman link.
But thank you for making my argument even easier than it already was. Obama ignored Gadaffi's past instances of responding to diplomacy, and instead launched tens of billions of dollars of cruise missiles all over his country.
Great diplomat, another peace prize should be on the way
"....Obama had not overstepped his authority because U.S. military participation in Libya had already been scaled back to a support role that did not require congressional consent."
Oh, wait.....you've (conveniently) ignored the....

As long as you're waving the white flag on the Obama-diplomacy thing, I'm good. Hence why you didn't address it in this post.
It's another war for oil, so diplomacy wasn't "necessary"............................

This is what happens when the office of the president has been usurped by a ineligible person.
