My remark is that the president's purview over foreign policy goes further than a few words in the constitution, but 200 years of precedent as well, including one of the oldest laws on the books, the Logan Act (1799).
Besides, if Syria wants peace with Israel, they can have it in a month, just like Egypt and Jordan got. You want peace with Israel, you get it.
And if Syria would like a billion or so of foreign aid a year, all they have to do is help out with Iraq and cool it with Hizbollah. One collect call to the Carter Center and you-know-who would be happy to broker the deal.
Ms. Mercer might write something I agree with someday, but today ain't it either.
Yeah, remarkable is a good word for it.
