Why Congress Must Reauthorize the Use of the Constitution
By David Swanson
It is at least conceivable that Congressman Jack Murtha and company are backing off on requiring that Bush and Cheney send only prepared, equipped, and rested men and women to the slaughter for more than one reason. One reason, of course, is that Fox News has called Murtha and company traitors. But there could be a second reason. Someone somewhere may just have pointed out that Congress has enacted these limitations before and Bush has undone them with a signing statement. Maybe ending the war by doing something you'd already done (without ending the war) finally smelled too fishy, given the abuse that would have had to be withstood to achieve it. Here's Bush's unconstitutional and unconscionable statement.
