◼ Bill Clinton is telling Obama to ignore Congress, which he would anyway, but as a matter of philosophy, he is urging some sort of alternate Constitution in which presidents can go to war without regard to what Congress thinks. - Daniel Greenfield/Frontpage Magazine
Sadly this is the Constitution we’re living under, but it’s not too comforting to future voters to know that 2016 would be Round 2 of Clinton Lawlessness. A basic question that should be asked of Hillary is whether she will go to war without talking to Congress the way Obama did....
Actually that’s the one thing you can say. An elected official is supposed to follow the will of the people. It’s amazing that Clinton is openly talking about his contempt for that even while he wants to plant his wife in the Oval Office.
“Some people say, ‘See what a mess it is. Stay out.’ I think that’s a bad mistake. I agree with you about this,” Clinton told McCain. “Sometimes it’s just best to get caught trying, as long as you don’t overcommit.”
“Get caught trying.” That’s the story of his life.
