Remember when President Barack Obama put troops in Syria without Congressional approval? Remember when he droned a U.S. citizen and his family without Congressional approval? Silence from the left. But now that President Donald Trump ordered an attack that killed Iran's Qassem Soleimani, the architect behind the regime's war on America and Israel, Democrats now care about the Constitution.

President Donald Trump's decision last week to withdraw the United States from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has occasioned a lot of hand-wringing by his critics (and by fans of his predecessor Barack Obama). After all, the storyline goes Iran was adhering to the deal, so the United States was damaging its credibility by trashing a deal that it had entered into. Of course, that doesn't tell the whole story. President Obama, knowing that he couldn't sell the deal to the American people and their representatives, made an executive agreement.

(Funny how none of Obama's acolytes, who tell us that Trump is destroying our democracy, seem the least bit bothered by Obama's blatant disregard of the Constitution.)
