We always hope when going into a "war," we have support of an Act of Congress properly passed proving authority, funding, and limitations.. In case of current operations, called a war by some, there is scant authority provided only by a legal write up by OLC. It is classified so public can't know the extent or basis for actions. Congressman on Intel cmte could see it but can't characterize it, only to imply it is questionable authority. Again, its quite basic that war operations in a new place requires Congressional Act. Apparently, some don't know that. Pity too, its a Coast Guard policing mission and they have been doing it effectively. On 12/8/2025 14:22, Robert Cameron wrote:

While yucking it up about lawyers and congressmen, don't forget the non-military counsel in Office of Legal Council DOJ that wrote the classified opinion providing the basis (legal basis???) for combat ops in Caribbean, since no action requested of Congress. Stupid is ignoring the Constitution, thinking no one will notice. h

I enjoy hearing from actual lawyers. These morons are so isolated from reality that they thought they were attacking Trump instead of the reality that they undermining the lawful chain of command. That makes them stupid, but not criminal. It hasn’t gone over well in the veteran spaces I follow and the fact that space boi is parading himself around like a victim of his own idiocyinstead of taking ownership of his attack on good order snd discipline on the deck plates hasn’t helped his case.
What a great, original and accurate description for the Senator from Arizona Brian! mgb
