Leahy the Leaker is now asking about a memo Roberts wrote regarding a bill paying money to soldiers who served in Lebanon.

Roberts didn't want congress dictating where the troops are stationed.

Leaky finds this "troubling"...I find it WONDERFUL that Roberts thinks the President can command the troops and not the Congress. See, the CONSTITUTION is perfectly clear, LEAKY...

Exactly. Congress appropriates the $$ to fight a war and the President says where they go and when they come home. Congress' only power is the purse strings..
