A milestone is, in a way, a gravestone:
Levin said he would talk to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid about prospects for getting a vote on a resolution officially authorizing US deployments in support of UN-backed operations in Libya. "The president said he'd welcome it and I think it would be helpful. It'd show public support for the effort. And that's always useful," said Levin, who underlined that a debate would also give voice to congressional opposition.
So the only vote held will be a retroactive attempt to rally behind the president, and happens only after the president has given the go-ahead. Just a reminder:
The Congress shall have the power …
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
This is a constitution specifically designed to make warfare rare. But we now live in a permanent war, and each time it ebbs, a president comes in to add to the fire. When you have that kind of power, the temptation to use it can be overwhelming. I know that the Congress has ceded its Constitutional responsibilities in this respect to the president in recent times. But the Constitution is clear enough – and has not been amended. And its essential abeyance for so many years is one reason this republic has become an empire; and an empire requires an emperor. If a man like Obama succumbs to this temptation, the ball-game is over.
For those who wanted change after eight years of war in Arab countries, the joke is on us.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) has attempted to distance his statewide health care plan from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as he positions himself for the 2012 presidential primaries.
But MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who advised both Romney and President Obama on their health care reform plans, told the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin today that without Romney’s plan (and more specifically, that plan’s individual mandate) President Obama never could have gotten his plan through Congress:
He says that as the federal health care plan emerged, the Massachusetts plan was “widely discussed.” […]
In his opinion, without the Massachusetts plan the federal individual mandate plan wouldn’t have garnered acceptance and gotten through. “It was huge,” Gruber says, to have the Massachusetts plan to point to. And without it, he thinks “it’s likely” ObamaCare wouldn’t have become law.
While there was extensive debate about the individual mandate, Gruber said, its inclusion was ultimately Romney’s decision, and the former governor was the plan’s biggest “champion.” Gruber is also skeptical of the argument Romney now makes, that the Massachusetts reform is different because it is a state-controlled plan. Gruber said that it is incorrect to say, “Massachusetts did it on its own,” since it received federal funding to implement the proposal.
A Romney spokesperson declined to respond to Gruber’s claim, saying only that Romney is “proud of what he accomplished for Massachusetts in getting health insurance to everyone,” but that he still supports repeal of the ACA and a “state-by-state approach to health reform.”
Romney’s health care reform — particularly the individual mandate — has greatly expanded coverage in the state. Currently, 98 percent of Massachusetts residents, including 99.8 percent of children, are enrolled in a health care plan — the highest in the nation. As Gruber notes, it is both “sad” and “depressing” that Romney has to run away from that sort of an accomplishment in order to satisfy conservative primary voters.

Washington (CNN) – Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who garnered attention and lost his job after building a Ten Commandments monument outside Alabama’s judicial building, is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination, his top aide confirmed to CNN.
Moore plans to announce in mid-April that he is setting up a presidential exploratory committee, the aide, Zachery Michael told CNN.
Moore will potentially seek the nomination because “we’ve seen the same type of politician running for president – the elitist type,” Michael said. “What sets him a part is he can connect to all Americans and has an idea of what Americans are going through. We are seeing the same types of people run and we aren’t getting anywhere.”
Moore is a conservative Christian with a claim to fame for posting the Ten Commandments on the wall of his courtroom. In 2003, he was removed from his chief justice post for not complying with a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from outside Alabama’s state courthouse.
According to Michael, Moore has been contemplating the Republican presidential nomination since September, and is already drawing strong support in Iowa from the tea party movement and middle-class evangelicals.
An active member of the tea party movement, Moore received the All-American award from the Central Texas Tea Party in February.
Moore visited Iowa four times last summer, holding rallies against same-sex marriage in the state. Following his April announcement, Moore will travel to the three other key primary states: Nevada, South Carolina, and New Hampshire.
“Moore stands up for his faith in God but also against an over-controlling government,” Michael told CNN.
Moore’s platforms will focus on repealing the health care overhaul law, lowering taxes with limited government, and eliminating progressive income taxes, Michael said. The Vietnam veteran and West Point graduate opposes “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and in the energy sphere believes the U.S. should free itself from foreign oil dependency and explore other sources of fuel.
Moore ran and lost twice in Alabama GOP gubernatorial primaries, in 2006 and 2010.
