26 juillet 2011<\/a>, pour fixer l’\u00e9tat de la question.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abBut Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman, who believes Obama has set a terrible precedent in Libya, said that until Congress dropped everything to debate the debt ceiling, lawmakers were actually moving to address the issue. I don’t think it was play acting at all, Ackerman said. He said that if the Libya engagement continues into the fall when Congress is back in session, the controversy is sure to revive itself.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbLast month anti-war lawmaker Rep. Dennis Kucinich put forward a measure calling for an end to U.S. involvement in Libya, but it failed to pass the House. House Speaker John Boehner put forward a resolution rebuking the president, which did pass, but as the New York Times noted at the time, it was more an expression of opinion with no practical effect. The House later rejected a bill that would have authorized military operations in Libya while also rejecting another that would have constrained funding for the operation.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn the Senate, lawmakers hoping to quell the controversy crafted a resolution of support for the Libya operationbut earlier this month, Republicans protested bringing the issue to a vote.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbJust to speak to how dysfunctional the U.S. Senate is, we’re here over the debt ceiling, but instead of focusing on the issue at hand, we’re going to focus on something that’s irrelevant possibly, said Republican Sen. Bob Corker, the senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee, explaining his opposition to the vote. Several of his Republican colleagues agreed: Our debt is our most pressing national security concern, said Republican Sen. Roger Wicker. The Huffington Post reported that Republicans were planning to filibuster the Libya resolution or vote against it in order to move on to the debt ceiling.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbI’ve spoken with the Republican leader just a short time ago, and we’ve agreed, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, in announcing that the vote on Libya would be postponed. The most important thing for us to focus on this week is the budget.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tPour conclure son texte, Marian Wang met surtout l’accent sur la versatilit\u00e9 du Congr\u00e8s en fonction des situations de crise, ou plut\u00f4t, si l’on consid\u00e8re un autre point de vue, sen fonction de l’accumulation des crises qui force le Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 \u00e9voluer de l’une \u00e0 l’autre sans rien r\u00e9soudre \u00abAnd just like that, without resolving the last controversy, Congress moved on to the next. The controversy over the debt ceiling continues, even as the deadline for that looms a week away.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
