The Law of Unintended Consequences
at least one mistake
#3
Quote:
The constitution gives the courts no say in the way the president makes war. Congress controls the purse strings and can stop voting money, but the courts can only act on the laws passed by the other branches of government.
When a treaty is ratified it does become in effect law, and interpretation of the treaty is generally left to the courts, though sometimes congress makes 'clarifications' on how it should be read.
Also what the president was doing is most likly unconstitutional, remember that pesky 4'th amendment? We really should remove it from the constituion along with the first and second. Or better yet, scrap all of them.
