Today, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) shared his reaction with reporters following the briefing: “I’m more convinced now that this is going to be open-ended and forever.”
He added, “This feels like a multitrillion-dollar open-ended conflict with a very confusing and constantly shifting set of goals. They clearly seem fine with hard-line elements being in control of the country, because they plan to permanently run air operations in order to chase [Iran’s] missile-making capability, drone-making capability, and nuclear capabilities.”
No. It’s not legal. Congress may have passed a law or several laws saying it’s legal but those laws contradict the constitution so are invalid. Only a constitutional amendment can override a constitutional edict. There has been no such amendment.
Same goes for tariffs.
