Well stated...
I’m just amazed at how many fellow “conservatives” try to construe the War Powers Act as somehow superceeding the Constitution itself.
If you really believe that, you ain’t a conservative or libertarian...you are something else...

Scary, isn't it?
Particularly since even a brief stroll through the history books will quickly dissuade one of such notions.
However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.
