“[R]ealistically, Congress isn’t any more likely to reassert its power over US war-making this time around than it did with Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and numerous other belligerent actions/involvements. We’ve been living in a ‘post-constitutional’ era, featuring an ‘imperial’ presidency, for at least 80 years, with Congress exercising about as much power as the Roman Senate under the Caesars. How do we know that? The latest unimpeachable evidence for the claim is that Trump wasn’t impeached on the evening of June 21 and convicted and removed from office on the morning of June 22. The prosecution rests, and the defense has no case.” (06/22/25)
