Federal judge hears challenge to Iraq war
By DAVID PORTER,Associated Press Writer AP - Wednesday, April 22
NEWARK, N.J. - Opponents of the Iraq war say former President George W. Bush overstepped his authority when the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003.

A veteran and two mothers of soldiers are trying to get the war declared unconstitutional. Their attorneys made arguments Tuesday in federal court in Newark, N.J.
They cited Justice Antonin Scalia's strict interpretation of the Constitution in a decision last year that affirmed the right of homeowners to own guns for self-defense.
They argued that Bush overstepped his constitutional authority to invade Iraq without Congress officially declaring war. They say that wasn't the intent of the Founding Fathers.
The government argued that courts do not have authority to rule on a political matter.
