Last night,the Senate voted 90-10 to table Sen. Rand Paul’s sense of the Senate resolution agreeing with candidate Barack Obama that the president cannot unilaterally attack a country unless the United States is at imminent risk. Congressional abdication has played as big a role in the unconstitutional shift in war powers as presidential usurpation, maybe a bigger one.

Yeah..I have to say, at least the right wing anti-warriors are principled. The leftists really don't even pretend to be.

Exactly. All the prattle about the constitutionality of the Libya operation is just that - prattle.

Congress is full of unprincipled cowards who care nothing about the Constitution.

That's fat 90 targets for the Tea Party in 2012.

Removing Lindsay Graham from both the Senate and the Republican Party has to be Job Number One. Bring on the primaries!

Only 10 votes for this? What objection do other GOP Senators express to this resolution?
