Why don't you guys start a theatre company if you want to play George Washington?

Even though previous conversations with sinkspur have proven fruitless, I'll try again for the less daft members of the audience:

Some of us here on FR actually like the Constitution and are not afraid of the fact that the Founding Fathers were pretty smart people.

They set up a way to handle War against entities that were not Nation-States. Letters of Marque and Reprisal were the mathod. Since we haven't had to use them for a while doesn't make them less necessary. This is the right way to proceed, regardless of your ill-informed viewpoint, sink guy (like Clinton).

Yea.

I can see a pot-bellied, Bo-Gritz-like character in his night vision gear running around in Afghanistan with absolutely no satellite data, no intelligence data, nothing but testosterone and his "letters of marque."

It's laughable Rob, no matter how "Constitutional" it is.

Let the pros handle this. They know what they're doing, and the country is behind them.

I'll be surprised if this is even brought up in committee in this session of Congress.
