We Are Not at War
The US Constitution, Section I, Article 8:
“The Congress shall have the power...To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water”
We are not at war unless and until Congress declares War. No matter what scale of military action happens otherwise, including Vietnam, we are not at war. George W. Bush is not a “wartime President,” and neither was Lyndon Johnson. The citizens of the US do not have to give up their civil liberties because “We are at war,” because we are not at war.
