Mra Alito just turned on her deathray, which means Fatty must have returned from his trip to the bathroom where he could hit his flask.

Biden : "Does the president have the authority to invade Iran tomorrow absent the ability to show there is no immediate threat to our national security?".

That question is not out of left field....did Slow Joe just reveal something.

Alito.... should have said.... would you define "go to war". Are you talking about bombing a few asprin factories.... or are you talking about Nuking a nuclear facility in Iran?

I called him once when he accused the President of "cooking up" the war in Texas. (just looked it up in the Capital Hill directory on the internet)

His staff is very combative, it was fun, I bi*ched him out, but don't let up, don't swear, they will eventually hang up because they cannot defend the indefensible.

Wow, only 2 and half minutes for Biden to get to the first question.. This must be a new record! Either that or someone pointed out how long it took last time...

What a stupid question. If there is an urgent need to use military force against Iran, of course the President will use it.

"If Iran launched an ICBM against the US, do you think the President needs to get Congress' approval before taking military action against it?"

At the end, the question of how far the President can go in these matters is a political question, settled after the fact. The President knows that, and so does Biden. Asking a SCOTUS nominee about this is assinine and academic.

Biden - Do we need a declaration of war.

No Joe. The President is a CO EQUAL branch of Govt not a subsidary of the US Congress. Amazing how out of touch with basic facts these butt clowns in the Senate are.
