“This is the most important thing going on

Combat Vets Urge States to Pass Laws
Enforcing the US War Powers Act

| (May 27, 2025) — I’ll never get tired of praising my friend, the great Scott Horton. And I know Scott will never tire of reminding you that the Defend the Guard movement is the most important thing happening in America.
Last week, Scott, the executive director of the Libertarian Institute and author of the new, comprehensive book Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, appeared as the guest on Timcast IRL. To over 150,000 viewers, Scott said in part: “This is the most important thing going on in the antiwar movement in America today. It’s led by combat veterans from Iraq War II and Afghanistan: BringOurTroopsHome.US and DefendTheGuard.US. “And the move is to get the state legislatures to pass laws and the governors to sign laws making it illegal for the governor to give the soldiers over to the president to use for combat in a foreign operation without an official declaration of war by the Congress like it says in the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. And which of course has been a real problem that we haven’t declared war since against Romania in 1942.” “It’s conservatives and libertarians and American combat veterans from the terror wars who are behind this effort and are pushing it through. And they did have the House in Arizona all lined up, but the leadership of the House in Arizona is now botching it and falling apart, so it’s kind of an emergency.” |
