@emptywheel plus, you are mixing arguments. obama's circumventing congress is a separate argument and i know you know that. -
@sharon_lynch You do realize that when Obama circumvents Congress it has an influence on what tools he can use? -
@emptywheel i have work to do. as i said, i support you in holding obama to the law, but not in your conclusions about libya. -
@sharon_lynch Thanks. And I'm glad you're still focusing on Libya. I will continue to focus on what happens when POTUS use Article II badly.
