Liberty -vs- Tyranny
One of the benefits {and greatest things} of being an independent conservative is that when a rational thinking democrat is right on an issue you have no compunction in siding with them.
Unlike the progressives {with respect to conservative thought} who never stray from the confines of their narrow and tightly confined thought process and ideology.
The Hill
The Constitution expressly reserves the authority to declare war to the Congress of the United States. It is about time we return to this wisdom and I applaud Rep. Nadler for having the proverbial balls to break rank with those in his party {specifically Obama} who think otherwise.

"And we must put a stop to that right now, if we don't want to become an empire instead of a republic."
Nadler stressed that he is not talking exclusively about "this president," meaning President Obama. But he said nonetheless that Congress needs to reassert its authority to declare war, and said this should be done even over concerns that it would damage U.S. credibility with its NATO allies.
"I think that the nation's credibility, that is to say its promise to go to war as backed by the president, not by the Congress, ought to be damaged," he said.
"And if foreign countries learn that they cannot depend on American military intervention unless Congress is aboard for the ride, good," he added. "That's a good thing." {Continue Reading}
