"Goldilocks" may come calling.
As the bitter defeat of the Democratic anti "surge" resolution at the hands of the Republican minority was sinking in, there's a renewed attempt on the part of the Democratic majority to alter the existing war authorization. The "Goldilocks" amendment -- "hot enough for the radical left wing, but cool enough for party leaders to claim that they are for the troops" -- would have the effect of further restricting the President's power to conduct the war as Commander in Chief, and begs the question of whether such a resolution would NOT be constitutionally invalid and not binding on the President. Goldilocks may come calling alright, but so what?
