If so then all of our mutual defense treaties are useless. - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:37:16

Treaties are ratified by the Senate. So if the treaty has a - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:39:12

Then wouldn't the same reasoning apply to the War Powers Act - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:41:06

I agree. But the Constitutionality of this is still in - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:58:04

Just because that was the thought in Hamilton's mind does - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 12:09:33

First there is a clear process for modifying the text - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 12:18:07

Have any of those laws been ruled unconstitutional? - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 12:41:46

Words are hard for you.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 10:58:52

Why do you say that? You'd rather not have a set - hokie VT - 3/11 11:06:30

I think Matt was exhibiting transference there. Words are - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:35:39

More clever originality. Pathetic, you can't even come up - hokie VT - 3/11 11:59:34

TL;DR (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/11 12:21:59

Like I said, words are hard for you. Look at the definition - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:12:33

So it's USUALLY open and declared. Got it, but um - hokie VT - 3/11 11:25:15

The dictionary is irrelevant - pickle MU

- 3/11 11:45:13

Again.. words are hard for you. - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:28:55

Then it sounds like words are tough for you too. By that - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:39:47

But not always. So it doesn't HAVE TO BE open and - hokie VT - 3/11 11:31:59

You really are retarded and have no understanding of words. - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:35:03

you ignorant fool.. lol (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/11 11:07:19

Good post. Vague, personal and saying absolutely nothing.nm - hokie VT - 3/11 11:11:48

why would I waste my time with a moron? (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/11 11:17:41

I ask myself that when I respond to your posts - Calca STL - 3/11 11:21:24

Reading is hard for you. - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:00:22

Not according to the War Powers Acts.(nm) - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:47:29

Is "the natural law" written down anywhere? Are there - hokie VT - 3/11 11:05:00

The topic in the OP is about US Constitution ands US law.... - Spanky KU - 3/11 11:04:30

The topic is the original article which I quoted.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:05:33

It was a throwaway line that had zero to do with the thesis - Spanky KU - 3/11 11:11:14

That would be a defensive action. That is different than - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 10:57:01

The US Congress has granted the President limited - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 10:18:21

I think war has been redefined in recent history... - Gyro MU - 3/11 11:00:07

irrelevant. It’s what the meaning was understood to be - pickle MU

Most of the "skirmishes" are the result of the US sticking - TigerMatt STL - 3/11 11:02:38

Don't disagree... - Gyro MU - 3/11 11:07:02

No, that argument cannot be had. Only SCOTUS gets to - ummmm MU - 3/11 10:22:40

Congress has the power to make such law (Art 1, Sect 8) - Spanky KU - 3/11 11:02:06

No it doesn't. (nm) - ummmm MU - 3/11 12:01:22

Then let the SC take it up. To my knowledge the War Powers - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 10:27:26

If they are assumed to be constitutional, then what is there - ummmm MU - 3/11 10:30:32

I'm not arguing them but there are many people who think - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 10:35:57
