FBI scheduling interviews with 6 lawmakers who encouraged military members to refuse 'illegal orders'

[Marener]

Yes, people are, but adults, as opposed to idealist children, understand that there are right and wrong ways to go about it. Sneaking across the US border is not the right way to do that. If we don't bother enforcing immigration laws, what is the point of having a border at all? Without a border, we don't have a country. Maybe that is the ultimate goal of people like you or maybe you are just too naive to understand that would be the ultimate outcome.

People who just say “do it legally” really don’t understand the broken state of the immigration system. Numerous attempts to repair it have been torpedoed by right wing activists despite having popular support.

It doesn’t make sense to deport people who have lived and worked here for decades. No one is helped by that.

Yes, it most certainly is. Do I really need to provide examples of past Presidents acting militarily on their own accord using Article II as the justification.

Any examples of using the military against non-military targets?

Congress

Seems perfunctory since you think the president can go to war whenever they want

He he he. In this case, they authorized it.

 

[Zincwarrior]

so there's nuthin' illegal about what Trump is doing

Incorrect. Congress has not declared war.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Only trouble there is the dems are on the defensive.

No need to. They previously authorized the actions.

Yes, and I believe that Democrats were actually in a supine position when they authorized them. Like their friend Jeffrey Epstein waiting for a massage by a teenager.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Incorrect. Congress has not declared war.

The War Powers Act does not require a declaration of war.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The War Powers Act does not require a declaration of war.

The Constitution DOES.

Any examples of using the military against non-military targets?

You are full of questions. It is up to you to prove that it is illegal, not for me to prove that it is legal.

But since you asked, Reagan bombed Qaddafi's home. Clinton had a few. Bush and Obama both bombed civilian targets in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. Obama bombed non-military targets in Libya. This is too easy.

Seems perfunctory since you think the president can go to war whenever they want

Who said anything about going to war?

 

[SweetTea]

The Constitution DOES.

The Constitution absolutely does not require a declaration of war to use the military in operations to protect the US. You are very mistaken.

 

[Seymour Flops]

The Constitution DOES.

So the WPA is unconstitutional?

In what case has it been ruled so?

 

[Marener]

You are full of questions. It is up to you to prove that it is illegal, not for me to prove that it is legal.

All military strikes.

The fact that Trump is hiding the legal rationale for the strikes is pretty suspicious. Not to mention all the people who resigned specifically because they don’t believe it’s legal.

Who said anything about going to war?

Isn’t that what the department of war does?

What’s to stop the president from invading Venezuela?

 

[Delldude]

Incorrect. Congress has not declared war.

They don't have to. They previously authorized these types of actions.

 

[Delldude]

What’s to stop the president from invading Venezuela?

He'd need authorization from Congress.

 

[Clipper]

What’s going to happen to them?

Nothing. The whole thing is a crock of shit drummed up by Trump & his asseater booze hound Petey because The Don is having an assbleed over it.

 

[my2¢]

I'm not sure why anybody would condone illegal activities.

 

[Delldude]

What’s going to happen to them?

Public and political embarrassment. Already happening.

 

[Marener]

Public and political embarrassment. Already happening.

Why would they be embarassed?

 

[Delldude]

Why would they be embarassed?

Has there been any backlash?

 

[Marener]

Has there been any backlash?

From who?

 

[Delldude]

From who?

Has there been any backlash?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You think the DNC conspiracy to create discord among the military didn't take into consideration the fact that no one in the military would comment?

Of course. It was designed that way. You are the victim of an elaborate psy op by Slotkin.
