Ron Paul: Why I'm Suing the Obama Administration Over Libya

They don't need to sue him. They need to exert their power and authority as The Congress of The United States and say no, if they have such a moral opposistion to the actions in Libya. So many of you are acting like these 10 congressmen are hero's and standing up for what is right...wrong. They have the existing power to say no, they can say no right now or could have after the 60 day mark, Why didn't they do it? Why are they going to the judicial branch to do what is already in their power to do? I can tell you why, to get the exact reaction many of you are giving.

Congress can say no all they want, but The president issues orders to the military. Without Leverage theres no way to enforce their "no", and Obama can still do whatever he wants. Of course they could use their power of impeachment, or to issue the funds to gain such leverage. Denying the military funding would never work, because the president would turn the people against congress saying that they were depriving families of their livelyhood. Impeachment isn't gonna happen because this congress doesn't have the balls.
