Senator Rand Paul has openly criticized Obama ad-Dajjal's endless illegal, unconstitutional wars:
Yale Professor Bruce Ackerman puts it succinctly: “The war against the Islamic State is now illegal. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 gave President Obama 60 days to gain consent from Congress and required him to end ‘hostilities’ within 30 days if he failed to do so. This 90-day clock expired this week.” And yet, there’s been no consent, and no end to the fighting.
I believe the president must come to Congress to begin a war. I also believe the War Powers Act is misunderstood; President Obama acted without true constitutional authority even before the 90 days expired, since we were not under attack at that time.
But in either case, this war is now illegal. It must be declared and made valid, or it must be ended.
Congress has a duty to act, one way or the other.

My prediction? The lame duck Congress will not act on this, and the new Congress will authorize even more wars.
Good deal, no? Shouldn't we throw more money down the war rat hole instead of feeding hungry US children?
