"Who booked Bergman?!?!"

"Having Their Fling" by Art Young. First published 1917 in "The Masses"

From the NYTimes: "The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat," Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, said in a statement on Saturday. He called for Congress to "quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty" by passing legislation to curtail the military campaign against Iran.

What Chuck seems to lack the clarity or courage to say:

• Only Congress can declare war

• Congress did not declare war on Iran

• This war is illegal

• Wars of aggression are considered to be "supreme international crimes" by the International Criminal Court. The phrase was coined at Nuremberg.
