This is so classic…does anyone recall GOP outrage over Reid being Mirandized?

“Thank you for acknowledging that BOTH major parties were in power since 1941 when we actually followed the US Constitution.”

That’s right brother, doesn’t matter who did it. Now perhaps you can write a sentence like this…

“We are not at war, because Congress has not declared war.”

Or would you rather just pretend that we’re at war so we don’t Mirandize jihadists?

I agree Larry, both parties have failed to follow the constitution on this.

Hey Larry, I’ll answer that question…they didn’t, and it’s wrong.

Jim. Part II.
Since declaring war in 1941, in accordance with Article 1, Section 8, of the US Constitution, did Congress declare war in:
Korea,
Vietnam
Persian Gulf 1991
Grenada
Iraq,
Somalia,
Bosnnia-Hercegovina or
Afghanistan???

“When is the last time Congress has declared war?”

Ya gotta just love conservatives who profess such righteous respect for the sanctity of the Constitution…oh, except when that pesky thing just gets in the way of their agenda.

Unless congress actually declares war, which they have not done, then our Constitution requires that he be given the same rights as any other defendant.

That being said, in his case I still favor the shoot on sight option.
