"The "Authorization of Force" did not decide war, it delegated to the Executive Branch the power to decide if we were going to war OR NOT... That's illegal. "

Get a law degree, become a supreme court justice, and maybe your fringe opinion will means something. Until then, the authorization of force has been ruled to be constitutionally consistent. The founders would never have tied the hands of our nation as you would like if they could have envisioned international terrorism, WMDs and the shrinkage of the world from innovations in transportation.

**********************

The Founders provided a way of fixing provisions of the Constitution that were no longer relevent. There are lawful ways of doing that.

Deciding that provisions of the Constitution need to be changed is not to be decided by our leaders.

You advocate tyranny, elfman2.

My "fringe opinion" already has more weight than a judge's opinion of law.

I an a juror; I decide what the law means.

A judge merely presides over the courtroom while I make my decision.

By the same token you must hold Roe v. Wade in the highest esteem.
