The Hill: Lawmakers largely silent on war powers authority in Libya
Will any of the MSNBC talking heads make an issue of President Obama basically ignoring the law? If this were Bush, the calls for impeachment by now would be deafening.
Glenn Greenwald, unlike others on the Left, is calling out the president on it:
This war, without Congressional authorization, is illegal in every relevant sense: Constitutionally and statutorily. That was true from its start but is especially true now. If one wants to take the position that it’s not particularly important or damaging for a President to illegally start and sustain protracted wars on his own, then it’s hard to see what would be important. That is the ultimate expression of a lawless empire.
