Any American citizens flying those MIGs? This is an American citizen not a Russian or Iraqi and contrary to all of this hype, we are not at war. War is declared by Congress not the White House...unless you want to count the war on drugs and the war on gun violence. In that case anyone that fires up a joint or uses a gun in self defense is a "combatant" and as such has no constitutional rights.
War was declared by the terrorists on 911.
Not again...
There's nothing in the Constitution that states that Congress must make a Formal Declaration of War.
The reason the Founding Fathers decided to make it necessary for Congress to give its assent to military action was so no POTUS could carry out personal grudges - The People, through their representatives, must give the nod.
And that's exactly what happened when the resolution was passed giving Bush the A-OK.
You Militia types claim you love the Constitution, when you don't know a darn thing about it.
Yeah, just keep repeating this over and over. Maybe you will be able to reverse the (almost unanimous) Authorization for Use of Military Force by the Congress. Hate to bust your bubble, friend, but we are most definitely at war.
Could be. I doubt we have time to investigate that during an attack.
