Hypocrites Suddenly Claim 'Constitutional Scruples' About War-Making

Prior presidents, including Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, struck foreign targets without consulting Congress first and even waged hostilities for months at a time without authorization from Congress.
Even Americans who loathe President Donald Trump should be capable of seeing that the U.S. and the world are safer without a nuclear-capable Iran. But Trump derangement is blinding them.
Saturday night, Trump and the U.S. military executed a "spectacularly successful" precision bombing of Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities with no American casualties and minimal impact on Iran's people.
Yet now Trump is being bombarded with attacks here at home. Sen. Bernie Sanders ((I-Vt.) called Trump's strike "grossly unconstitutional," a claim repeated by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has sparred with Trump on other issues, and Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.).
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a chorus of Democrats are calling for Trump's impeachment.
