I do litigation. There's a rule against the issuance of conditional orders for a reason. Congress should either declare war, or not declare war. None of this "if" bullshit. Since the War Powers Act, it's all been downhill. The Commander in Chief is supposed to win the wars that Congress decides to wage, not decide which wars to wage. If you disagree with this, you should amend the fucking Constitution. It's not like your people are exactly afraid of doing that.
Regrettably, the resolution was poorly drafted. I wonder who drafted it? A Dem? Karl Rove?
I do like how you're trying to pin the decision to go to war in Iraq on 535 people instead of just one. When they voted, I wasn't 100% sure we were definitely going to invade. But the passage of time changes peoples' memory, and now it seems like it was always inevitable.
