Following the USC is crazy?

No, saying that it is Congress who "determines" what to do is not following the Constitution. Ron "Nut" Paul makes it sound like the Congress runs a war. "Declaring War" is not where Congress decides what and how something should be done, and the Executive Branch is not merely Congress' servant.

But, Ron Paul is not just a nut, he is an anti-Semitic apologist.

I will agree with Ron Paul on the Constitutional issue. What Congress did in approving the War Powers Act was to punt that responsibility mainly because it gave them cover to snipe at whatever any president does in this regard and in doing so have the ability to undermine the mission if they so chose to do so. It was a cowards way out of their enumerated responsibility.

“Following the USC is crazy?”

It sure is. It’s crazy as hell to be held accountable to some 18th Century rule of law. Especially a rule of law which was written by a gang of crazed revolutionaries. /s

US Constitution? Forget about it! It’s just a piece of hemp, not worth the ink wasted on it. Much less the blood spilled for it. /s
