Dealing WIth Libya
House Republicans have finally decided on how to deal with the growing discontent over that pesky, probably unconstitutional war in Libya. They’re going to put the Dennis Kucinich [D, OH-10] withdrawal resolution that they pulled from the floor earlier in the week because it might have passed back on the calendar for a vote Friday. But they’re also going to hold a vote on a new, non-binding resolution, from Speaker John Boehner [R, OH-8], that criticizes that Obama for not go through the proper channels in authorizing the war and requiring him to provide Congress with detailed info about the rationale behind getting involved. The strategy: give anti-war and constitutionalist Reps. something meaningful to vote for, but also give middle-of-the-road Reps. a way to allow Obama to continue his war but still be able to tell their constituents that they voted against it.
