Biden on Alito

I was listening to Imus in the Morning today and he had Joe Biden, the Democratic Senator from Delaware, on his show. They were speaking about the Sam Alito confirmation and Biden said that he wouldn't vote for Mr. Alto even though he was a highly qualified person because he disagreed with Alito's stance on Presidential powers. According to Biden, he asked Alito if he thought that the President had the power to invade another country, like an Iraq, without consulting congress. Biden stated Alito said that that was a difficult question. This answer made Biden believe that Alito was for run away Presidential power.

It seems to me that the President can send troops wherever he sees fit. Congress isn't required to fund the troops. As a matter of fact if the Democrats really want to bring home our troops from Iraq all they need to do is muster the votes to stop funding them.
