Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., thinks President Clinton's > military actions in Yugoslavia were done without the > consent of Congress. > > "We voted that he should not do that; we did not vote > money for doing it; we voted strongly against a > declaration of war," Bartlett said. > > Thirty-one members of Congress -- including moderate > Republicans and Democrats -- have now taken the > matter to the U.S. Supreme Court. All contend the issue > is as basic as the separation of powers set forth by the > U.S. Constitution. > > "I think Congressman Bartlett and his colleagues have > an excellent case," said Cliff Kincaid, with the American > Sovereignty Action Project. "The problem, of course, is > whether they're going to find a judge -- or in this case, > the Supreme Court -- to really take a look at it." > > Two previous courts have dismissed the case, saying > that Congress had no standing to bring the charges. > > "If we don't have standing, who does have standing?" > asked Bartlett, referring to Congress.

"We think that the Court needs to > rule on this so that we have guidance for the future." > > Bartlett said he hopes the Supreme Court sends the > decision back to the lower court to be heard.
