To not sell arms to the Iranians to fund an insurgency.

So, your objection to North's action is not really based on the constitutionality of the matter, but rather a disagreement with the objective.

In fact, you object to having helped the Contras in Nicaragua and would rather that Ortega and his crowd had prevailed.

OK. I understand where you're coming from now.

Exactly wrong. It is entirely about the Constitutionality of the matter. I support Reagan and oppose Noreiga, but the means North used to fund the Contras by selling arms to the Iranians was Unconstitutional.

As I said if North could sell arms to the Iranians to fund an anti-Communist insurgency, then an Obama administration could sell arms to the Iranians to fund a Communist insurgency.
