Reply #53: As pretexts for war, with Congress not declaring it

[EVDebs]

Authorizations for Use of Military Force (or farce, as pretexts for war become, as in the Gulf of Tonkin 'incident' that started the Vietnam War), the War Powers Act of 1973, the War Powers Resolution by reference, requires clear situations and circumstances. Also, Congress cannot legally delegate to another officer ITS war making powers, which is what Bush is implying.

We are in a self evident Constitutional Crisis. BTW, with Rex84 during the Reagan yrs, guess who would have passed upon the executive orders allowing for a suspension of the constitution ? You got it, both Roberts and Alito.
