Recommended: Land of the Lawless

Victor David Hanson is a bit of a curmudgeon, but he makes points worth listening to. In his June 7 piece Land of the Lawless he raises a valid point: how come, despite the War Powers Act, the President hasn't asked Congress for permission to continue the military involvement in Libya as required by law? And he points out a number of other places where this administration has simply ignored or overturned or failed to enforce the law when it suited its ideological goals.

It is a worrying trend.
