Well, I was pretty worried about getting a good news post this week, but, for once, Obama came through. He is actually going to follow the United States constitution and seek congressional approval for the humanitarian bombing of Syria.
Of course, no one should fool themselves into thinking that this has anything to do with constitutional scruples. Obama and his advisors can read polls, and they realize that it might not be good to go out on a limb, very much alone, on this one. Should something go wrong, the McCains and Grahams will grow silent, and, truth to tell, no one outside the Beltway listens to them anyway.
Still, good news. The Republic survives to die another day.
