Argument from authority. A logical fallacy.
And by adding the “COMPETENT military law source” you also exhibit the “No True Scotsman” logical fallacy.
Let me know when you come up with a citation for when Congress authorized military officers to “use appropriate force” independently of the President, and which officers they authorized.
I would say just about anything beats uninformed paranoid delusion.
“Let me know when you come up with a citation for when Congress authorized military officers to “use appropriate force” independently of the President, and which officers they authorized.”
Sigh... Does anyone but you think that's clever?
How about you let me know in what fantasy world that silly question has any relevance to the actual Constitutional and legal issues at hand. Or. alternatively, ask me some question that's not in the vein of “When did you stop beating your wife with a halibut in Nova Scotia?”
Ask TOC how he defines “Competent military law source” and I think you’ll find that it’s not “One who agrees with his position” as the “No True Scotsman” fallacy requires.
