Democratic Lawmakers Decry Iran Attacks as Illegal

“Congressional Democrats are moving to force votes to curb President Trump’s military action against Iran, denouncing the administration’s strikes on Saturday as illegal and accusing the White House of bypassing Congress,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Lawmakers in both chambers said they would seek war-powers resolutions to block Trump from using military force against Iran in the future. They also urged the Trump administration to justify the reason for the strikes, calling the actions illegal and unconstitutional.”

Dan Pfeiffer: “Democrats must loudly and boldly oppose this war. They have a moral responsibility and a political obligation to do so. If Democrats cannot bring themselves to oppose an idiotic, unjustified regime change war in the Middle East, they do not deserve the power they seek.”
