Well, as John Yoo pointed out in his WSJ column today (which I cited in the negative in the Libya IP thread):

Imagine the uproar if President Bush had unilaterally launched air attacks against Libya's Moammar Gadhafi. But since it's Mr. Obama's finger on the trigger, Democratic leaders in Congress have kept quiet—demonstrating that their opposition to presidential power during the Bush years was political, not principled.

Yoo is correct on that point, but dangerously incorrect in his view that the US Constitution permits the President of the United States to commit US armed forces to an open-ended military attack against a foreign nation without the consent of Congress.
