Wisdom from a founding father
"The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war."
"No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. "
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. "
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. "
James Madison
Are you listening, America?
