Hillbilly wisdom: The time for talk is over and past, it is behind us.”Someone from the executive branch “will” brief Congress next week is so much B.S. Once again the executive branch exceeds the limits of constitutional authority. This pattern will not stop on its own. Congressional investigations, new rules/laws or even judgments of the Supreme Court will not change the behavior of the current administration. Even when told the policy is against the law, the administration continues the same policy by using a different rule. The king will not submit to the people under him.
The king moves on. The moves are so audacious that Congress can not keep up. What is the reason this time? No Nukes. Regime change. Imminent threat. Trump is unhappy.
Iran was hit in 24 of the 31 provinces, over 500 targets by 200+ jets but all available cautions to minimize the risk of unintended harm were exercised. People died!
Infringement on the sovereignty of any state is against international law and constitutes a direct threat to the security and stability of the entire region. Iran MIGHT ONE day have the capabilities is not a direct threat. If there is not an imminent threat then there was time and the president should have sought Congressional approval. The United States military forces are not for rent? The president did this to get attention or just because he can. War diverts attention from domestic affairs.
Congress needs to press charges against the executive branch. How do you defend an invasion involving the sovereignty of another nation? As long as Congress allows the executive branch to commit acts (war crimes) against the majority opinion of the citizens of the United States, then Congress is at least as guilty as the executive branch and both branches are acting against those that they represent. And America loses.
