Reagan's backers DID point all that out in public, Walt. Legislative vetoes are unconstitutional. Attempts by congress to dictate the president's positions for him are unconstitutional. Many members of congress at the time feared that if the issue was pressed any further, their precious war powers act would be declared unconstitutional as well.
The only people who did not hear any of this are left wing bullsh!t artists such as yourself who have nothing better to do than blame America and Republicans for all the problems in the world while simultaneously absolving their own from any scrutiny whatsoever. You have really shown your true colors here today, Walt, and they are what we've expected to find all along.
Why did Oliver North have a "shredding party"?
Why did Bush I pardon five people just before his adminstration ended?
The Reagan administration did secretly fund -- with U.S. government property -- an army -- in --secret--, got it?
These facts are not at issue. But it is interesting to see you try and rationalize something away besides the treason of the slave power.
