Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted this image earlier today, with a one-word caption: “Unacceptable.”

I may not be a Cruz supporter, but hey, when he’s right, he’s right. Unacceptable, and unconstitutional.

As I wrote on Facebook last night:

I said this under Clinton, I said it under Bush, and I’ll say it again now: We didn’t win independence from the Crown to have an executive who could start wars of choice without legislative approval. The very notion is absurd.

After 70+ years of blatantly and unconstitutionally ignoring Congress’s nondelegable role in warmaking – namely DECLARING WAR, which hasn’t happened since WWII – and with the unconstitutionalism now escalating to the point where Congress apparently isn’t even allowed to have ANY sort of formal input, I’m thinking we might as well rejoin England. I wonder if they’re accepting applications?

No response yet from my inquiry to the Queen. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂

But seriously…

Quoting myself again from Facebook:

I’m looking at you, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell. Are you all the legislative branch of the United States Government, or are you not? IF YOU ARE, ACT LIKE IT!!
