Anyone familiar with the threat posed by the advancing American Fifth Column understands all too clearly that our Constitution is under attack. Whether it is the insistence that the Constitution is a living document meant to conform to the will of the times or the institution of political correctness - a shadow set of laws effectively usurping the laws of our Constitutional Republic - the American Fifth Column is slowly, incrementally, systematically, chipping away at the wisdom as set forth by our Founders and Framers. With news that a non-governmentally charged commission is introducing a measure that would impose "group think" on the Commander-in-Chief, it is evidenced that the American Fifth Column is on the march.

While many commissions and blue ribbon panels are seated by our elected officials, others are formed by private institutions, institutions of higher learning and philanthropic institutions. Where the recent story of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 is concerned, we are faced with a commission from all three.
It would appear that the Miller Center for Public Affairs, emanating from the University of Virginia, has assembled one National War Powers Commission. The commission is co-chaired by former Secretaries of State James A. Baker, III and Warren Christopher. Those seated on the commission include: Sen. Slade Gorton, US Rep. Lee H. Hamilton, Carla A. Hills, John O. Marsh, Jr., Edwin Meese, III, Abner J. Mikva, J. Paul Reason, Brent Scowcroft, Anne-Marie Slaughter and Strobe Talbott.
This commission, touted as non-partisan, has issued a report suggesting that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 be replaced with the War Powers Consultation Act.

When one understands the authorities granted to the Executive and Legislative Branches of the United States Government, it is painfully obvious that not only does the War Powers Consultation Act continue the unconstitutional usurpation of the Commander-in-Chief's authority to command our Armed Forces; it proposes a further encroachment on the separation of powers.

Follow the link above to get all the details in Frank Salvato's detailed article at Family Security Matters. Frank's right, "James Baker has lost his mind." Is it senility, or just plain stupidity? The American 5th Column is alive and well one way or the other. How about they just shove the Contitution itself into a paper shredder and be done with it. After all, to men like James Baker it's nothing more than a historical curiosity standing in the way of real progress and intellectual enlightenment.
The complete idiocy of forcing the President of the United States to get permission from Congress, the same body of people who now have a 9% approval rating, in order to execute a military operation is unthinkable. Except for James Baker! Apparently he thinks it's just fine.
The War Powers Commission is not even an elected body! Why is James Baker attempting to turn my country into a sick oligarchy? James Baker hasn't lost his mind, he's lost his integrity... if he ever had any to begin with. The man is insidious.
