Scientists Decry Political Interference in Courtroom Science – Science Politics Leading scientists speak out after climate science was dropped from the federal judiciary's key scientific reference guide.

β€œCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

β€œThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

I've always seen just exactly how this crooked regime and the republicans who support it all are robbing us blind.
It's like hey, I can SEE it, it's so obvious! Why can't so many American voters see it?
