I’m just a dumb blogger, and like me, thousands have spilled ink upon a subject in which their expertise is limited. Still, it feels good to have these guys saying what we’ve been saying here at Corrente for years. I’m having some issues pasting sections, so just go read it. The bottom line: Congress can end this war, by setting limits on the number of troops, the area of authorized conflict, and by controlling the purse strings. There is plenty of precedent, and the SCOTUS has said so not only to other Presidents, but to Bush himself three times now. Thus, an end to the war, beyond all the bullshit, is simply a matter of will on the part of the majority. It’s not just me saying this, but professors of law from Yale, Georgetown, Chicago, Harvard, Indiana, Fordham…will anyone in Congress take these voices more seriously than the unelected and uneducated bobbleheads in the media?
