Democracy NOW! DN! news and politics with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez - On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of 10 members of Congress sued President Obama for violating the War Powers Act of 1973 by failing to obtain congressional approval for military operations in Libya longer than 60 days. We host a debate between Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, one of the congressmembers suing President Obama, and Robert Turner, who worked as an attorney in the Reagan White House and is a longtime critic of the War Powers Act. "President Obama's position is absolutely clear: we are not engaged in war in Libya and thus if the War Powers Resolution were constitutional, it still would not apply," Turner says. "I ask you, if another country sent 2,000 planes over the United States and some of those missions dropped bombs on us, would that be an act of war against the United States?," says Kucinich. "That is exactly what we have done in Libya." Published, with permission from democracynow.org. http://www.democracynow.org Provided to you under Democracy NOW! creative commons license.

2. Goddamn Kucinich looks weary.

Must suck to have so few real allies.

I wish I could take his place for a week so he could get some rest.
