Reply #130: "Only a state can declare war." False. Once you correct for that false statement, your argument

melts away.

Of course, you might dearly wish that only a state could declare war, but your wish is not equivalent to reality.

The only "silly arguments" here come from your post (the false statement about who can declare war, the false statement that the President doesn't easily have the right to order military action against a non-state actor, the bogus false equivalencies between Obama and Nixon, etc).

The "novel theory" here appears to be that the law is somehow equivalent to what you wish the law were, rather than what the law actually is.
