The US Supreme Court hasn't ruled that the president can issue an EO giving himself the authority to exercise war powers when war has not been declared.

And they haven't ruled he can't. You are in a fit of circular reasoning and can't break out.

[And they haven't ruled he can't.]

Mara keeps stating that the SCOTUS has already ruled that Bush is acting properly here. I asked her for a cite. You don't have a cite either, but you feel impelled to put your oar in the water anyway by claiming that the President may do whatever he likes until the SCOTUS rules against him. That's the purest sort of ignorance.

We have a Constitution which is the supreme law of the land. If anyone in government may do anything not expressly prohibited in the document, then our Constitution isn't the magnificent work that millions of people have admired, but instead just a set of comments fit to be printed on a roll of toilet paper.

I do wish that you would stop huffing glue before posting. It makes you look too much like what you are.
