The fact that the US Military has conducted this illegal war without congress approval means their Oath to the us constitution has been breached. Now that they no longer feel obliged to honour their oath means the other rules, like not being used against the us population also no longer apply. Tremble.
A Chinese attack on Taiwan is no less illegal than what americans are doing right now.
That should be the case, but Congress has very clearly granted the Executive the right to start military action at nearly any scale. He is only required to NOTIFY Congress within 30 days. After that it's up to them to fund or not.
Yep, yet again this is a case of Congress derelicting their duties and letting the executive do whatever the fuck. We really need to scourge a lot of post 9/11 laws from the fucking books.
I think that at this point, the Constitution and the body of Law built up in the country can't be saved, and we need to start over. That would never happen. I wonder what the history is of countries building a system of government and law from prima facia? Some revolutions and dethronements of royalty must have worked that way.
Really, this goes back at least to the War of Slaveholding Capitalists. Lincoln never declared war against the Confederacy, and Congress refused to push him on it, since international law and Supreme Court precedent were built around the assumption that the opponents were both countries, and a formal declaration of war might have the unintended result of acknowledging the Confederacy as a foreign country (with the rights thereof) instead of an insurgency.
History is fascinating stuff.
Citizen, please turn to page 1 of your copy of The Ultimate Guide To Good And Bad For Citizens. Does it not state
"Russia bad. China bad. Israel good."??
