U.S. District Judge Jose Linares has dropped a lawsuit about Iraq war on Tuesday. Two moms of US army who deployed in Iraq failed in the attempt to sue against the Federal Government on the constitutionality of Iraq war.
The two old ladies and the group New Jersey Peace Action (NJPA) claimed former President J. Bush overstepped his power by attacking Iraq in the year 2003 without officially declaring war.
However, Judge Linares supported the Bush administration and said the courts did not get jurisdiction to rule on that was basically a political issue. He wrote in his verdict second-guessing Congress was not the magistracy’s duty.
