I thought Congress voted and gave Bush the authority to do whatever he thought was necessary.
They did the same thing right after 9/11 when congress was mostly Democratic but some people said that was not good enough so it was voted on again in November.
There was also the Patriot's act that gave the administration powers to do the things that are now being declared unconstitutional. I think every single change is vital to the safety of the population as a whole and it does not bother me a bit.
If congress is not following the will of the people we should elect some different people. I voted for the people I want to represent me. I am satisfied with the results. I haven't heard other people say who they voted for in this forum.
There were some people that said we can't do anything with out a UN resolution. A resolution was passed unanimously. Even Syria voted for it.
How many votes and resolutions do we need to satisfy the dissenters? I am satisfied. I have been satisfied 3 times.
