As everyone knows, the U.S. government has not declared war against another country since World War II.
Yet, everyone also knows that since World War II, the U.S. government has waged undeclared wars against many nation-states, such as North Korea, North Vietnam, Cuba, Grenada, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and others.
The reason why the U.S. government has waged undeclared wars in direct violation of the Constitution since World War II is no mystery.
Everyone also knows that the Constitution prohibits the federal government from waging war without a declaration of war from Congress.
Thus, it was the job of the Supreme Court to enjoin the U.S. government’s waging of all of those post-World War II wars unless and until Congress issued a congressional declaration of war against those nation-states.
Given that “they” wielded omnipotent powers, “we” needed to wield omnipotent powers too.
After World War II, the federal government was converted from a limited-government republic, which was our founding governmental system, to a national-security state, which is quite similar to a totalitarian-like regime in terms of sheer power.
