You have to imagine Churchill handing over power to Chamberlain during WW2, only for Chamberlain to say to the Nazis, "Now, how may we serve you, Fuhrer?"
Authority??
Democrats dont need no stinkin' authority.

If it is TRUE that these Congress Critters are visiting foreign governments to discuss foreign policy after authorization was denied by the President -- Then President Bush is worse than a lame duck President if his doesn't break their asses upon return...
Laws at this level, violated by Congress Critters without consequences -- is precedent that shouldn't be permitted.
Knowing how badly President Bush wishes to be loved by the Democrats -- NOTHING will happen...except President Bush being played for the fool.
Semper Fi
If Republican legislators did this during a Democratic presidency, then you'd see outrage in the press.
Leftists and liberals are hypocrites. The rules don't apply to them.
America was a great experiment in Freedom. I am sorry that it isn't working out.
But, When we hold the door to the chicken coop open for the fox...
Since I'm a Florida resident and voter, I sent an email to Nelson - which he probably won't see. I told him he should be charged with treason for consorting with a sworn emeny of America, one who aids insurgents in Iraq who are killing American soldiers. None of that will impress Nelson of course - but I also insisted our taxpayer money NOT be spent on trips to consort with America's enemies. I plan to bug the H*LL out of his office for a financial report on his Syrian trip. Yeah, I know, I won't hold my breath.
"--where's the outrage"
Same place it went for the award winning journals revealing our secrets on any venue they see fit.
Democratic immunity.
After Chris Dodd and Bianca Jagger went to Nicaragua to negotiate a separate peace with dictator Daniel Noriega and our government refused to do anything, why are we surprised Democrats are negotiating with the enemy again?
