Listen & Learn: Mark Levin on Libya and War Powers Act (3/24/11)

Last Thursday, Mark Levin donned his professorial hat and dedicated the first hour to delivering an informative lecture on Libya (which he opposes) and the presidential War Powers Act. It's a topic I knew very little about, and I recall it coming up back during the first Bush term when liberals would argue that the war in Iraq was unconstitutional because Bush didn't get "an official declaration from Congress." Mark clears that up too.

Sharpen your pencils; class is in session.

Thanks for those links. I look forward to hearing Mark’s reply to Woods, if he happens to broadcast one.

I’m not getting why conservatives are jumping on obama’s bandwagon for this one. Rand Paul made a great argument against. I am disappointed by Levin.

It’s because neocons like Levin love foreign adventures and they love a strong, extra-constitutional executive. They just want it to be THEIR adventures and THEIR executive.

It is simplistic to dismiss Levin as a "neocon" who "loves[s] foreign adventures." Give me your definition of neocon, and if it includes "Jew" I will be a lot less receptive of your arguments.

Neocon to me means Wilsonian foreign policy--idealistic, meddlesome, and a proven failure. It means someone who wants the US to "lead" the world. That our military isn't just for defense, but is for whatever qualifies as a national "interest." etc.

As I mentioned before, I also think neocons tend to favor the executive branch over the legislative branch.

I am with you on opposing Wilsonian foreign policy. The Founders warned us against foreign entanglements.

And Obama is not even defending the homeland from invasion, so defense is not even part of our military, it seems.
