## Resource

Content warning: This conversation includes some graphic descriptions of violence and sexual violence. David French, New York Times columnist, Iraq War veteran, and constitutional lawyer, joins Scott to explain why he believes the Iran strikes violated the Constitution — and why that's not a technicality. They discuss what just war doctrine actually requires, why democracies that skip the constitutional process lose wars, and why the Pope's standoff with Trump is more consequential than it sounds.
