Romney vs Paul

This line about whether the president can go to war without Congressional approval is not likely to win over the bomb-and-torture-'em-first-ask-questions-later base:

"We’re going to let the lawyers sort out what he needed to do and didn’t need to do."

Paul's response won applause:

"This idea of going and talking to attorneys totally baffles me. You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war. It's in the constitution. This is just war propaganda ... preparing the nation to go to the war not only into Iraq but also into Iran."

But we're at war, Congressman. Haven't you got the GOP memo that in wartime, i.e. for ever, the president is the constitution?
