May 18th | 97 "Gentlemen, I’ve only been here five months, but this is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I’ve been to since I’ve been here. You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution here today. The Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, clearly says that the Congress has the power to declare war. This—this authorization, the AUMF [Authorization for Use of Military Force], is very limited. And you keep using the term “associated forces.” You use it 13 times in your statement. That is not in the AUMF. And you said at one point, “It suits us very well.” I assume it does suit you very well, because you’re reading it to cover everything and anything. And then you said, at another point, “So, even if the AUMF doesn’t apply, the general law of war applies, and we can take these actions.” So, my question is: How do you possibly square this with the requirement of the Constitution that the Congress has the power to declare war?

This is one of the most fundamental divisions in our constitutional scheme, that the Congress has the power to declare war; the president is the commander-in-chief and prosecutes the war. But you’re reading this AUMF in such a way as to apply clearly outside of what it says. Senator McCain was absolutely right: It refers to the people who planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks on September 11. That’s a date. That’s a date. It doesn’t go into the future. And then it says, “or harbored such organizations”—past tense—”or persons in order to prevent any future acts by such nations, organizations or persons.” It established a date.

I don’t disagree that we need to fight terrorism. But we need to do it in a constitutionally sound way. Now, I’m just a little, old lawyer from Brunswick, Maine, but I don’t see how you can possibly read this to be in comport with the Constitution and authorize any acts by the president.
"
— Senator Angus King (I-ME) at a Senate Committee on Armed Services hearing on May 16, 2013, quoted in “‘Astoundingly Disturbing’: Obama Administration Claims Power to Wage Endless War Across the Globe” (May 17, 2013), Democracy Now! (via thepeoplesrecord)

aliensputum:

Ghosts are defined by physical boundaries and the past, while existing without a body to carry these burdens in. I am the opposite of a spirit, transcending my boundaries and my past (especially the forgotten, lost, and terrible) while confined by a body that does not define me. The ennui of the same routine, the same paths followed day in and day out, the horror of missed opportunities, of time wasted or squandered, of traumas that haunt or even archived and misplaced in the dusty corridors of my mind.

skin doesnt stain why aren’t we making clothes out of human skin

we’d have to tan it into leather to make it wearable and leather stains

It’s funny that you’d post a picture of a cigarette being smoked b/c I’m pretty sure your fingers get stained from nicotine. Also you get callouses and stuff so that would be hard to make into people-wear.

so….. this was done by nazis
