Trajan Octavian Titus said:Oh but we are in a declared state of war and as such the president is well within his constitutional rights as per the inherent war powers of the president:
We are most certainly not in a state of declared war. We have not been in a state of declared war since the close of World War Two's. Nothing in the Constitution gives the President the power to suspend the Constitution, nothing.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:And here's the specific statutory authorization:
Congress has no power to authorize suspention of the Constitution, nor did this act do that in any case.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:And here's the war powers of the president specified by Article II section 2 of the constitution:
None of which apply to anythong other than the armed forces. Suspending the 4th Amendment has nothing to do with running the military.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Legally you don't have a leg to stand on.
Yes indeed I do. Nobody has the power to ignore the Constitution legally.
