They are the vital few if you agree with them. Or they are the tyrants like South Africa during aparthide.
SCOTUS can not just randomly look into things. It would be unconstitutional for them to "something that is quite unconstitutional. but which does not seem to invoke action from our Supreme Court." But you imply that this unconstitutionality is ok, again because you agree with it.
You can have debates with reasonable arguments on both sides that saying "We agree to declare war at the time you say it is necessary' vs "We agree to declare war today" is or is not fundamentally the same.
On the other hand, I do applaud all those who voted against the war from the outset. They deserve respect for taking the hard position that they felt was right. Those who voted for the war and now attack it should be, at the least, voted out for being cowards in the begining and continuing to be so now. All for politics.
