The Nation's John Nichols explained that Obama's unilateral decision "was a violation of the provision in the founding document that requires the executive to attain authorizat
ion from Congress before launching military adventures abroad." Put simply, as DanielLari
son
concluded in an analysis last week, "the war was illegal from the start."
But even for those who chose to cling to the fiction that the presidenti
al war in Libya was authorized by the WPR, that fiction is now coming to a crashing end.
Friday will mark the 60th day of the war without Congress, and there are no plans for authorizat
ion to be provided. By all appearance
s, the WhiteHouse isn't even bothering to pretend to seek one.
