I haven't missed any points; you never had one in the first place. Of course the Dems are hypocritical, and in other news, dogs slobber. They were wrong before and they're right now, at least about the President's constitutional prerogatives. The charge of hypocrisy has no political weight; tossing it around is an onanistic waste of time.

Where I'm coming from should be perfectly transparent. I get annoyed when ignorant twits trash the separation of powers for the sake of scoring a few cheap points on today's President. Focus on something that matters.

The Libyan adventure is idiotic on any number of levels. Attack it on substance, not the silly procedural point that Obama’s consultation with Congress was inadequate. Do you really think America can be persuaded to care about that?! Process is not where the rubber hits the road. The point here is that Obama’s foreign policy is adrift and subordinated to the UN and NATO. Libya is important evidence of that. Getting upset because Obama arguably hasn't complied with applicable law when there's no way to make him do so is beside the point.

Save your outrage for something that matters.

"Process is not where the rubber hits the road."

Accepting that is admitting partial defeat. Everything about our government is "process". What rubbish to simply ignore it because they chose to ignore it when it suits them and them alone.

"Save your outrage for something that matters."

I apply my outrage wherever it is necessary as a citizen. Right now, in the last 2 years, no matter where my outrage has been applied it's been met with blank RINO stares and continued incompetence from both sides of the aisle.

So if I want to apply it to this, I will. Because it should be.
