if you the only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Non sequitur argument. Prohibiting Constitutionally defined actions is fundamentally different than extending conditional permissions.

Most of what the Feds do is actually unconstitutional. This action isn’t any pattern for reversing that.

True. The constitutionality of the War Powers Act, for example, has never been firmly established. Same with all of these military campaigns all over the world that the U.S. has undertaken without any formal declaration of war.

When it comes to the importance of constitutional government, is this really the stance we should take here on FR?
