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.

Instead of warning us about this all of the congressman and senators, and the Supreme Court, should follow their oaths if iffice and atop this! But as we have all come to realize thats probably not going to happen because all of the establushment politicians could care less!
Congress had best not go along with Rimo mcconnels’bill.
While some may take your warning seriously, the men and women in our military would never obey that order. If you know anything, it would be an unlawful oder and does not have to be obeyed. So senator whatever your name is, this will be your last thing you ever do in politics. Typical Dumocrat, trying to scare the American people with your b******t. You sir, are a complete fool. ” You want a war, WE’LL give you a war you cannot win”. From Rambo. You politicians think your$#%&!@*doesn’t stink. Pull your head out of your$#%&!@* You will lose. Take your UN and shove them to. We are free men and womenn
. I served this country once.I know what it takes. I will fight till i die for this country. That is something you don’t have the balls to do.
Lies
Supreme Court Judges stop this maddness. Where is Congress, you all are just a responsible if this happens as the Supreme Court Judges.
He will be a dead man if he tries it.
It is time we the people go to Washington and flatten the black house down on Obama dam head and then build back a real White House that will stand for America and not for all this crooked government b******t, who is with me I am ready!!!!
Sick bird
This is why there should be term limits. These RINOs have given Obama more and more power, and I believe it’s going to come back and bite them.
We will take our America back
