I would stop the terrorist by inforcing existing laws.
Why does every new violation of law
require new laws to handle it?
We already have laws to handle terrorism.
It was done before, with no violation of our rights.
You do not understand, kempo.
We are not at war.

Of course not.
We have never known such a wonderful peace in our lifetime.
The view from under the sand is breathtaking, isn't it?

Such sarcasm, P-Marlowe.

U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 -

"(The Congress shall have Power To) To declare War,
grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,
and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water..."

Where is your Congressional Declaration of War, P-Marlowe?

I would think that this Bill is a defacto declaration of war. Congress does not have to pass a formal declaration of war to "declare" war. The manner in which Congress declares War is not set forth in the constitution. They can declare War by simply by supporting the military action of the Commander in Chief.

How's the view from under the sand?
