Emotions do not make a military action constitutional.
Trumps statement was an appeal to emotion and not an appeal to a constitutional provision that allowed him to unilaterally send missiles directed at a Sovereign Nation that posed no threat to the security or vital interests of the United States.
If Assad used poison gas on his own citizens, that is terrible. It is not, however, a valid excuse for the United States to launch a Missile attack.
If we launched missile attacks at every dictator who abused his citizens, we be out of missiles before we got to 1/10th of them.
I am glad Gorsuch will sit on SCOTUS instead of you. Gorsuch has much more knowledge of the US Constitution.
Of greater interest is Assad passing WMD to terrorists outside his borders...because that is a threat. Israelis caught him doing just that last year.
So, you think chemical weapons attacks should be allowed to become the new normal when are troops are in the very country chemical weapons are being used?
That is insane.
Just because we shouldn't to overthrow Assad doesn't mean we have to tolerate the use of WMD.
Why don’t you just shut up!!! The SANE World supports President Trump’s action. The INSANE World sides with Iran, Russia, and Assad! You’ve stated your position clearly, now stop trying to shout about the Constitution! History is full of cases where Presidents have taken action without the knowledge or consent of Congress. The US invaded French North Africa in November 1942 without any declaration of war against France. We still had diplomatic relations with France and its Vichy government although the Brits did not. Even our STATE DEPARTMENT knew nothing about Operation Torch on the orders of Roosevelt. Trump has not declared war. He has sent a loud message and was completely within his rights as Commander in Chief to do so. We have troops in the area acting as consultants. They are in danger of chemical attack and Trump has clearly stated there will be no further use of chemical weapons by the Assad Regime without SERIOUS consequence. Trump has acted in the best interest of the United States. You worry wort wimps should be proud America has finally found a leader who will restore us to leadership in the world instead of running around with your hair on fire denouncing our new President!!
