You keep saying that Congress has legitimized this nonsense with their ridiculous joint resolution, but you can't provide the Article of the Constitution which empowers Congress to do this. As usual, you're just blustering and blathering and you can't back up a single thing you post. Go read the US Constitution. I have no expectation at all of your being able to understand it, but read it and try to make some sense of it.

If all you can do is make dimwitted statements, then claim that you've made your point when called on your nonsense, you may as well save keystrokes and bandwidth. Nobody but one of your fellow republican socialists is impressed with your profound ignorance of the Constitution.

What you've done is to repeat what some talking head on TV has told you, and then claimed to have backed up your interpretation with facts. Nonsense. Try backing up your interpretation with cites from the text of the US Constitution. I'll wait while you order a copy and spend a year or two trying to decipher it if that's what you need.

You have to bring some to get some, boy. Until you have a fact or two to rub together, don't try to sell your snake oil to people who can read. You're defending the actions of people in government who are violating their oaths of office. Their party affiliation shouldn't make you give them a free pass for that crime.

That was an interesting reply (above) that you made to TexasForever, considering your own failure to support your Constitutional claims on this very thread.

Hypocrisy, thy name is...

With that post I have to wonder if your parents are also your aunt and uncle.

First of all I want to apologize for the above remark I made to you last night. It was low rent and uncalled for.

As to the declaration of war, the constitution does not offer the language to be used it just requires Congress to approve of military action. The Joint Resolution does that. I can't answer the question of why the congress did not use the word "war" since no one in congress has seen fit to say so. I also don't know if Bush met privately with Congressional leaders and was told that this was all he would get.
