Quickie: White House response

Following the announcement earlier today that 10 members of the House of Representatives will sue the president and Defense Secretary, and following previous House resolutions and a letter from the Speaker of the House, the White House now says it will respond with a report on the mission.

"The administration's report will include a legal analysis for the mission and address a June 3 House resolution that raised questions about the president's goal in Libya, how he hopes to achieve that goal, why he has not sought congressional authorization for involving U.S. troops abroad and how much the conflict will ultimately cost..."

Also...

"In a coincidence of scheduling, Obama and Boehner are set to play golf together for the first time Saturday, a day after Boehner's deadline for information from the administration and the day before he says it could be in violation of the War Powers Resolution."

And you wonder why this is such a fun hobby for me.
