"Let me say this with no hedging and no apologies: America has no business backing either side in the Israel-Iran conflict. None. Not militarily, not financially, not diplomatically. Period.
"What’s at stake here isn’t merely bad policy — it’s constitutional treason. The War Powers clause of the Constitution is unambiguous: Only Congress can declare war. Not Joe Biden. Not Donald Trump or the State Department or Netanyahu. And not a cabal of AIPAC-funded lobbyists who treat Capitol Hill like their private playground. And yet, here we go again — threats of “decisive action,” “retaliatory strikes,” and “support for our allies” echo from the mouths of senators who wouldn’t recognize Article I, Section 8 if it was stapled to their forehead.
"Let me spell it out: If a single American missile is fired in defense of Israel, or in retaliation against Iran, without a formal congressional declaration of war, it is unconstitutional. Full stop. And every member of Congress who allows it to happen is complicit in the betrayal of our founding charter."
