The U.S. and U.K. led a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday evening, setting off alarms globally about how the attacks play into the smoldering regional risk of conflict — including a stream of questions from Congress about whether Biden was legally authorized to conduct the strikes at all.

And would anyone expect this court to rule the AUMF unconstitutional?

As I said, it's been in use for coming up on 23 years now. There have been plenty of Courts available during that time.

Saying that it's not a good law - which I would actually agree with - is a very different thing from saying that it's unconstitutional.
