Robert C. Byrd: “This administration, in my view, has not wanted to ask questions, not wanted to answer questions.”

It seems to me that we ought to at least bow to the Constitution as we enter into this temple of the destructive doctrine of first strike.

I fully agree and I compliment you and our ranking member.

the doctrine of preemption says that one man, the President, shall have power to declare war.
