The power to wage war is at issue in this lawsuit that is about the struggle of power between the branches of government.
This lawsuit, if it gets enough attention, will be a nice distraction for Congress who is being plagued by scandals and other unfavorable news coverage lately. While Congressman Anthony Weiner fights to stay in Congress and keep his committee memberships and Congressman Ruben Hinojosa fights to keep his bankruptcy petition sealed (click to view the sealed original petition and sealed amended petition), Congress surely welcomes press coverage that is more substantive.
The lawsuit was filed by Professor Jonathan Turley who represents the members of Congress. As always on this blog, full text of the documents are available:
