The paid grifters, partisan hacks, and bots are out in force—misleading people about the Constitution and the law—to defend Trump’s unconstitutional war.

Here’s an important Iran war PSA:

Contrary to what you may have heard about the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. §§ 1541–1550), it does not allow the president to take military action for any reason for 60–90 days without congressional approval so long as the president notifies Congress within 48 hours.

Section 1541(c) of the War Powers Resolution states clearly:

“The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”

Of the three cited authorities, not one indicates a presidential power to take unilateral (without Congress’s approval) offensive military action.

The first two authorities allow the president to take offensive military action but only with Congress’s express approval (Article I of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war).

The third authority allows the president to take defensive military action without Congress’s approval in the event of a specific type of national emergency, a sudden unforeseen attack on the United States (happening too quickly for Congress to meet) necessitating immediate action to protect Americans.

It’s for this last situation (or for situations in which the president introduces forces into hostilities unlawfully) that the War Powers Resolution provides for the oft-mentioned 48-hour report to Congress (§ 1543) and 60-day (up to 90-day) timeline (§ 1544). If there’s an attack in progress on the United States (i.e., currently happening), we expect the president to respond swiftly to neutralize the attack and protect Americans—and then we will hold the president to account.

The Framers of the Constitution agreed at the debates in the federal convention of 1787 that the president should have the “power to repel sudden attacks” but not the power to otherwise introduce forces into hostilities without congressional approval.

The War Powers Resolution does not confer any new authority on the president to take offensive military action without congressional approval—nor could it under our Constitution. It instead checks the president when, as the Framers contemplated, the president introduces our Armed Forces into hostilities to repel a sudden attack.

The fact that previous presidents have violated both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution does not—and cannot—change the law or make any present military action lawful.

Pressed up Single High… 30 seconds left on the clock is wild…

Mike Bobo has done a tremendous job this season.

Mike Bobo is calling a terrible game so far tonight.

Both of these statements are true.

[SportsTalkATL.com @SportsTalkATL]

Georgia just had three opportunities to go up three scores and they basically punted on all of them with horrendous play calling

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

I still can’t believe Georgia watched that kicker and that QB for 3.5 hours and sat there down 3 points with 3rd & Goal from the 5 yard-line against a team with no timeouts and ran that play

Anything in bounds and you either score or kick it with 10-15 seconds left to go to OT

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

Game was Georgia’s to win. Anything but scoring a TD or letting the clock run is an unacceptable result. You either score a TD or you let Branch get tackled on a screen in bounds.

[UGA Spike Squad @UGASPIKESQUAD]

Jacorey leads with his shoulder. This guy absolutely launches at gunners head and neck area with the crown of his helmet.

How the hell is the former targeting and the latter not?!!!

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

That was malpractice. Just roll Stockton out and if it’s not there he lays down and you kick it with 15 seconds left. 56 seconds with that kicker is way too long

To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to prevent it from generating further evil. It is not to say that nothing has happened, but to do everything possible to ensure that resentment does not determine the future.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Wherever we are, let us try not to miss any opportunity to love. This is the vigilance that Jesus asks of us: to get used to being attentive, available, and sensitive to one another, as He is with us at every moment. #Angelus

This letter is so well written and explains so well the stance of real Christians on immigration/refugees/deportation. I hope everyone that professes to be Christian really hears what he’s saying here

What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly. https://t.co/S9UDh2TPtO

Really rough day for my DVD collection with the passing of David Lynch and Bob Uecker

I’m having an Eraserhead-Major League 2 Double Feature in honor of these two great American men

[Reed Buck @trophybuck32]

Best summary of this game. I’ll add that the OL absolutely got whipped tonight. However, you can still win that game easily if these other weird/self-destructive things don’t happen. But that’s this season. Scary for the rest of the league that this was a down year #godawgs

[My God a Podcast! @mygodapodcast]

The following had to go against us for this to happen:

ETN lost the first fumble of his career
A walk on ran into a ref
A sack/fumble of Gunner
A kickoff return for a TD
Off side on 4th down when their WR false started

Protect the ball, win the game.

As always, #GoDawgs

[Reed Buck @trophybuck32]

Maybe we should’ve started with an 8 team playoff first…#cfp

Northeast Georgia whipped Texas’s ass today

[Wes Blankenship @Wes_nship]

Georgia loses 2nd game - at ranked opponent:

Falls nine spots to projected first team out

Ohio State loses 2nd game - at home vs. unranked opponent:

Falls four spots to projected home playoff game

RIP, SEC bias

[Reed Buck @trophybuck32]

Let’s go Vandy! Cathartic as a dawg fan. Bama isn’t what they used to be against everyone else, even though they still have UGAs number. So it’s nice to see another team take advantage, especially a team like Vandy. #AnchorDown #godawgs

[Reed Buck @trophybuck32]

The Braves SUCK right now. You could pick up any little league pitcher in America, have them start against the Braves, and they’ll throw 6 scoreless innings. Unreal. Complete opposite of the team from last year. Hopefully they turn it around because this is ugly

Blows my mind how few people look out the window during flights. These are among the most spectacular scenes ever witnessed by humanity.
