Congressmen tell Bush to get Congressional authorization before attacking Iran

In an unusual (but refreshing) display of Congressional cojones, a bipartisan group of 62 House members have issued a letter reminding George W. Bush that he is "constitutionally bound to seek congressional authorization before launching any preventive military strikes against Iran."

Of course, Bush won't listen if he doesn't want to (he's the decider), but I'm encouraged to see that these Congresscritters finally seem to have the nerve to stand up to him.
