Official War With Iran Thread

@justinamash
The administration has provided no evidence to qualify its recent military action as a necessary defensive response to an imminent attack. Moreover, it absurdly relies on the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force and Article II of the Constitution as legal justifications.

The 2002 AUMF provides for war against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq regime. It is not a valid authorization for any current engagement in Iraq, and it certainly does not apply to actions against Iran.

@justinamash
Article II is not an independent grant of authority for nondefensive military action. The president’s role as commander in chief no more allows him to enter offensively into conflicts than his role as executive allows him to make laws.

GOP Sen. Mike Lee railing on the Iran briefing just now from senior administration officials, calling it “the worst briefing I’ve had on a military issue in my nine years” in the Senate

Mike Lee calls Iran briefing “probably the worst briefing at least on a military issue I’ve seen,” adding that it was “insulting” to be told by administration officials not to debate merits of taking military action

We can say a lot about this presidency, but it sure has been the most eventful one in a long time.

Mike Lee and Rand Paul jointly announce they’ll support Tim Kaine’s War Powers resolution on Iran. In addition to his grievances with the briefing, Lee says Kaine agreed to make changes to the resolution to accommodate his concerns.

It's all good for now until he needs another distraction.
