It's Time for Congress to Vote on the Illegal War in Libya | Doug Bandow | Cato Institute: Commentary

It's Time for Congress to Vote on the Illegal War in Libya | Doug Bandow | Cato Institute: Commentary: "The Republican Party says that it supports the Constitution. Except when it doesn't. Like reclaiming the power to start wars from the president."

"Although the three journeyed to Tripoli a couple years ago to toast Moammar Qaddafi and discuss the provision of military aid, they recently discovered that he was an evil dictator who must be removed"

"Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned that the Kucinich resolution was 'dangerous,' even though the president said America was so minimally involved that the war didn't even count as a war."

"Boehner's 'intention is not to undermine the commander in chief when we have troops in harm's way.' But the president said no troops are in harm's way."
