Trump has bombed Syria.
“Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who cast the sole dissenting vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in 2001, tweeted Thursday, ‘This is an act of war. Congress needs to come back into session [and] hold a debate. Anything less is an abdication of our responsibility.’
“The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) likewise tweeted, ‘Syria chemical attacks were horrendous. Yet our response can’t violate Constitution, which requires Congress’ approval for military force.’
By implication, Trump’s action violated the Constitution.

and they are indications of the horror many of us in the United States are feeling at the barbarism of Trump’s action. They also show us that Trump may be acting illegally.

What can we do to stop the monster in the White House? I have written to my Senators and Congressional Representative (who often oppose Trump’s actions anyway) in order to encourage them. I am glad to see huge numbers of Americans rising up in protest. I would love to see impeachment proceedings.
