The Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by the Senate is a rewrite of the Constitution’s War Powers clause and grants the President broad authority to deploy ground troops almost everywhere in the world, including the United States. That’s the warning being voiced by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy in response to the AUMF bill proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The bill would grant the president overwhelming control over where the US forces are deployed, which is scary for two reasons. The first is the obvious threat to American citizens’ rights. If the military can be sent to an American city based on loose justifications, they could be used to impose martial law and even empower a police state that has already grown too powerful.
The second reason is the plain call back to Manifest Destiny. Americans do not want to police the world. If the European Union is too busy handling the migrant crisis and Russia has finally come to terms with the harsh economic reality that their country is on the brink of collapse, it would leave the United States to ensure the sovereignty of all democratic nations. A solution that nobody would want.

Mark, you are spot on buddy. It takes people like us to make these idiots in government take a second look at the predicament they’ve put us in. Thanks… I like the fact that there are people out there that see things as I do
Do not obey anything he orders
BS
Janice Perry right an the more he gets away with the more he is going to try. An those people are doing nothing. We have got to clean house in Washington. There is just no other way to get out from under this Hillary Clinton will be worse then Obama. An Putin is already pissed at Obama she is going to finish off the United States. If not with Muslims then with war with Russia.
I know what your saying but guilty by who you? Cuz no one is prosecuting these clowns
Obamasssssssssss needs to be IMPEACHED !!
I can’t get this one to open up. They can write all the resolutions they want but if it’s unconstitutional then it’s not valid. Anyone trying to enforce an invalid resolution is guilty of treason and should be either arrested or shot.
Who is this ignoramus? Put a sock on it, Twinkie!
Bull S**t
Never make it or it is what it is. He thinks he is going to rule, try it traitor watch what happens, we fought for freedom once and we will again. Forget our military they are faithful to Amrica not a no good scumbag.
