" However, in every instance since the act was passed, the President has requested and received authorization for the use of force (though not a formal declaration of war) consistent with the provisions of the resolution. "
Buddy, The joint resolution I linked to is a formal declaration of war. How is it not? What specifically in the Constitution is defined about the meaning of a declaration of war that contradicts this resolution?
Buddy, before you go consider this from the resolution.
By its definition, war is a conflict carried on by arms, between nations.

If you don't like America, why don't you move to another country? ;-)
I wouldn't advertise that too much.
Some "junior Homeland Security informant" might rat you out for a McDonalds Happy Meal courtesy of your tax dollars.
(Granted, we're not to that point yet, but rapidly getting there)
Show that to the posters here that still believe the airlines are "free" to set their own requirements and policies for people that board.
Who ever said we were a "Free Country?"
Try peaceably carrying a legal firearm while doing any of the above, and then refusing to identify yourself. Not so free, are we?
Anyway, these "you can always hitchhike or take the bus" arguments are insulting to a free people, and fundamentaly anti-American.
Good post, on all counts.
Actually, a previous poster showed where the TSA was making them do it.
While there are government regulations that seem to imply that, it would be so much simpler for the reason to be that a private company wishes to know your identity before allowing you to use their services.
After all, you're not forced to fly.

Why is it that I do not read that the "Nation of IRAQ" declared war on the USA?
References, please! --- Or have I missed something?
"In a free country you do not need government permission to travel."
For sure. You can take off walking and go where you want.
You can travel in many ways, flying is different and is not mandatory.
No, they were not.
Thousands of people were killed on 9/11 because of a self-defense free zone in and around airliners and a "let them hijack" policy dating from the early 1970s.
You have it backward. Employers are REQUIRED to ask for proof an employee is legally eligable to work. The potential employee can choose to provide a passport or other legal documentation, but the employer MUST ask, and must get it before employing someone.
As for how you know someone is driving without a license, they also likely have no registration, no insurance, etc. All those can be checked based on the tags, home address, etc.
But the bottom line is, for PIs who are used to tracking down hidden assets and willful trickery, finding illegal aliens would be like shooting fish in a barrel. $1000 per head reward, and these guys would do five before breakfast.
But noooooo, YOU would rather the government tagged and track us all.
What is different? You are going from Point A to Point B, with whatever method you choose to travel.
Where did you ever get that from? All I said is that I object to the search. I've made my choice as a consumer and a citizen and don't place myself in that position.
Don't get all snippy...; )

What?
Paraphrasing your mindset;
Buddy B:We can't go to war with another nation until that other nation declares war on us.
References, please! --- Or have I missed something?
Yes I think you're missing something.
When you can articulate how this resolution falls short of what is required by the Constitution, please let me know.
I never said that. Why don't you document where I said that -- you can't!
Employers are REQUIRED to ask for proof an employee is legally eligable[sic] to work. The potential employee can choose to provide a passport or other legal documentation, but the employer MUST ask, and must get it before employing someone.
So private companies are required by the government to get their potential employee to show their papers in order that they may get a job? Gee, that sounds familiar.
How is that different than private airline companies required by the government to get the potential air traveler to show their papers in order that they may travel by air.
There's not a dimes worth of difference. Same goes with the drivers license and registration example -- all which was my original point.
slight correction...illegals aliens are free to come and go as they please.....
Did I say I approved of all that? Nope. Just the reality of it is that illegals could EASILY be found.
Our government has no need to track citizens more closely.
