I really hope the SCOTUS slaps him down on this. Forget the War Powers Act, this is purely a Constitutional issue. Congress, and only Congress can authorize engaging in war.

“He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good...
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. ...
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power...
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us,...”

The rules do not apply to a dictator.
Advice is for presidents not despots.

I’m not that great at history, but it seems to me that we made a collective decision sometime in the past .. oh I don;t know like 235 years ago that we didn’t need this type of “leadership”

Anyone? Anyone??

He will regret overiding the conclusions of his
Office of Legal Counsel when President Palin uses
the same assumed power and precedent to prosecute
Obama for treason and illegal acts of war.

I’m approaching this Obama/Libya/ War Powers act from a different angle.

Obama is begging to be impeached.

He’ll do everything in increments like Obama-care etc to set off a constitutional crisis and Libya is just another means to an end. His Muslim ‘sympathies’ are a sideshow. He is a One world Marxist.

Being brought up on impeachment charges gives the left the signal for the flash mobs that have been increasing in frequency, to unleash hell in the name of racism.

The left need anarchy to seize control and Obama ignoring the War Powers act is just another step.

JMO...

You want to know the sick part of this?

The liberals (mostly not Kucinich) all defend Obama!!!

Where is Code Stink? Cindy Sheehan? ANSWER???

It's a democrat war which means it's a good war. Kinda like when Clinton bombed Serbia to cover up his scandal.

FWIW, I still think that the details behind how the Lockerbie bomber deal was done would explain a lot about Barry’s Libya policy....

Click on the New York Times link and read the Reader Comments about Obama. They are scathing. Every last one of them.

In the New York Times!

Finally, an issue that we and the Liberals can fully agree on: Obama is out of control and arrogantly ignoring the mandates of the U.S. Constitution.

Comment from a Leftie reader:

"Let’s face the unpalatable truth folks. You fell for one of the greatest hoaxes to have been perpetrated on our country. Obama is merely a better sounding puppet of our permanent war machine and of the looters. Obama needs to join his alter ego Richard Nixon and face impeachment."

How close is our support to NATO to the use of Lend Lease when we were supporting Britain prior to declaring war on Germany in WWII?

His goal is to get the Muslim Brotherhood fully ensconced in every Middle East country in order to try to bring down Israel and the U.S.

He’s on record as disliking the Constitution as a LIMIT on the powers of government and he doesn’t seem too happy with the whole checks and balances thing (Queen Sheila Jackson Lee doesn’t either, she sees attempts to restrict abortion by CHANGING LAWS through the legislature to be an unconstitutional/seditious challenge to the Supreme Court gods).
