http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/23/tim-kaine-war_n_5868302.htmlWASHINGTON -- As bombs dropped over Syria Monday evening, marking the beginning of a U.S.-led effort to eradicate the Islamic State in that country, most members of Congress were back at home.
The legislative branch adjourned its business at the end of last week to tend to elections. In doing so, it left unresolved the issue of authorizing the war that President Barack Obama would start days later. Congressional inaction didn't upend the White House's plans; the administration had already claimed it had legal authority to launch such strikes in Syria.
But by leaving town before the president started operations, lawmakers may have done serious harm to their own institution, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) argued in an interview with The Huffington Post. Not only had they diminished the standing of Congress with respect to the executive branch, they also may have given unintended consent to a Dick Cheney-like vision of presidential war powers.
"[Congress has] sort of allowed the Cheney pre-emptive war doctrine to exist by another name," Kaine said. "In this instance, they allowed the president to say, 'ISIL [the Islamic State] is the bad guys, and I can go after them even though there has been testimony that they pose no imminent threat of attack on the United States.' If the president just gets to do this without Congress, then we will be embracing the Cheney pre-emptive war doctrine, which I think is just brutally wrong."
Kaine, one of the most outspoken advocates for passing a new authorization for use of military force, spoke just hours before word broke of the first airstrikes in Syria. He is slated to give a larger address on Tuesday at the Obama-allied Center for American Progress, speaking against the legal underpinnings for expanded military operations. If you didn't catch it, Kaine is a Democrat Senator. He is right on his stances; we got so bent out of shape when Bush and Cheney did this but not a single word is being spoken when Obama does this. The Constitution CLEARLY states only Congress has the power to approve war, not the president. If we're going to look over this then might as fucking well just shred the damn Constitution

>still thinking having southern pride is white power
People seriously make me laugh. I've seen and known blacks that display Confederate battle flags and have pride as a southerner. It's not about racism; it's a culturally identity of restricting an over-reaching national government that contradicts what the Constitution says. Being pride of heritage shouldn't be something negative, it should be a positive

This is why you leave the science to the scientists and the politics to the politicians.
I disagree. Politicians should be scientifically literate.
Politicians should also represent the people
I don't disagree. Does that mean they should parrot their constituents' dumbass thoughts that climate change isn't a very real and immediate threat, thus creating problems for the entire country?
How fucktards like this got onto this House committee is beyond me.
Missed my point lol
Politicians don't represent the people, despite their job to. Politicians should be educated, despite the contrary seen everyday where you sit and wonder if a rock would make more educated decisions
My apologies. You didn't really give me enough to go on. I assumed you were arguing that a representative should support their constituents, even if they are objectively incorrect and doing harm to the country.
Well it its the internet. If it were IRL then I would have said it in a sarcastic manner so it would be easier to pick up on >.> Although, there's people that work in fields like coal mining and don't want the government to keep on making new laws on the industry and thus leaving them jobless and adding them to the staggering number of unemployed citizens. There should be a balance between wanting to preserve the environment regardless what science says and trying to basically shutdown entire industries

lolno
They're robots for fucks sake.If they start to get all "pissy" then just wipe their memory and start them off as new basically. Robots only know what they are programmed to know, unless they some how obtain the level of self-awareness and perform actions that they were not programmed with or to do then all they will be are subjects to human control
What the fuck is wrong with you?
How about you go spread some mineral equal rights?

I don't understand why you have to pay to be fed in school. Like, fuck, what are these property taxes for? Footballs?
Pretty sure it is. My high school got like a $150M renovation budget about 2 years ago and the first thing they did was remodel the damn football field. And the funny thing is that our football team was the worse in the entire school district; the fucking school band and chess club has more trophies than them and my ROTC unit literally had to throw trophies out every year because we earned so many On top of that, the school fucking not only cut drivers education, but cut sex education in favor of wasting money on the football team Like shit

So for you Eurfags, Aussieshits, and for anybody else unaware, many muriclap schools have this thing where if you typically don't have money to pay for your school lunch then you will get a hamburger bun with a few slices of cheese on it and a milk for lunch. Schools have it where aside from bringing like $2 everyday, you can bring a check or a larger bill and have it placed on your account or there's an online deposit thing so parents can do it from home
Anyway, my brother today (after telling my parents he needed money multiple times) got this wonderful government cuisine. So here's the logic part: He didn't know until he got his tray with his GMO-induced lab "nutrients" till he went to the cashier. The old hag employed told him he didn't have any money on his account so it was taken from him and, get this:
THROWN IN THE TRASH CAN
If you're going to throw it in the damn trash can, why the fuck not just give it to him instead? Like damn
Well that's my daily rant about the inefficiency and stupidity of the government

That guy had serious ablls to go inside a police station and shoot two cops. Hopefully they find him soon and just put a damn bullet through his skull instead of wasting tax payers money on trials and countless years of appeals. If he were in VA, then the Commonwealth would be pressing for capital punishment

Well, that's a good enough reason to say technology isn't all that great
I don't understand.
Are you saying technology making capitalism obsolete means technology isn't all that great?
Partially I'm also saying that too much dependence on technology, including robotics, will be the downfall of the human race. Just look at nearly everybody glued to their smartphones to the point they're willing to risk their lives and other lives to send a text while driving or take a damn self-shot Not all technology is bad of course but this is one of the occurrences where I see more negative than positive
