RIP War Powers Act

It seems to me that President Obama is going to get the Libyan operation past Congress without a whimper.

Lord, this strikes me as funny and I wonder where the hue and cry is? The president is acting without Congressional authorization … of any type … and few if any (other than the much derided Fox News)  of the pundits or elected leadership in the Congress seem to be making a major deal out of it.

I guess that is what it means when it is said that elections to make differences. My guess that if our previous administration had ignored at least attempting to follow at least some parts of the 1973 War Powers Act, he probably would have been impeached, or had even more people in the streets.

Well, we get what we deserve … or at least vote for … and it is go0d to remember that democracy only works until the majority figures out it can vote itself money from the common treasury.

Nice to see you posting again, Rich.

Seems there have been a "couple" of shifts in attitudes the last couple of years. The hue and cry you mention appears to be completely missing lately.
