"Congress should ensure no court in the land questions the legal authority for our forces to prosecute this war," Republican Representative Buck McKeon, who is likely to become chair of the House Armed Services Committee next year.

That is one deeply disturbing statement for a member of Congress to make.
It is called the Supreme Court of the United States for a reason and it is in a separate branch of our government for a purpose.
Representative McKeon, does the following jog your memory?
"I, Howard Phillip McKeon, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
You will be saying these words in January. Perhaps you need to study them for a bit to make sure you understand these words.... all of them.
