You understand you are arguing with yourself, right?
We are not defending the morality of the action, just the constitutionality of it. We try to make law reflect morality, but it, ultimately, is subject to interpretation by humans. Humans with different ideas.
I personally do not agree with the action. But under the moder-day understanding of law, it was defendable. Should it be defendable? Well, that's a different question. Should congress or citizens argue and protest against it? Yet another!

It's nice to know that neo-con progressive Obamatrons are so worried about oil prices. Well, so long as Obama is worried about it enough to attack another country.
