Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is fast tracking a war powers bill through the Senate that would grant Obama virtually unlimited authority to deploy US armed forces anywhere in the world for any amount of time, opening the door for indefinite martial law on US soil.
Senate majority whip John Cornyn, as well as other senators, reacted with surprise when reporters questioned them about McConnell’s sudden fast-tracking of the bill after a year of entrenched debate. Even Democrat senators reacted with some apprehension, such as Senator Robert Mendez, who fundamentally agrees with the powers granted by the bill but doesn’t want to give Obama “a blank check.”
This sudden turn of events is both puzzling and worrisome. As the Presidential election looms on the horizon, the timing of such a bill is troublesome.

I thought McConnell was on our side
Crazy
Mitch McConnell should be run out of the USA for his stupidity!!!!
UnAmerican. The Elected Elite believe they know best and continue down a road of TREASON. Remove them ALL from office.
Ah Yes the Bribes are plentiful in Congress Huh ? Can you say Traitor – RINO ? Recall the worthless sonofabitch and FIRE him !!!!
We need to share this information on our representatives page. Why hasn’t this gone out on Mainstream media…the whole bathroom issue, which is already in place is a cover up for this! WE NEED to get this out to all, we cannot let Obama declare marshall law or we are really screwed.
AT THIS POINT AND TIME THIS MOVE IS UTTERLY INSANE , HIS TERM IS ALMOST UP. OR IS IT?
The end is the same, but my prophetic means are different. I have been warning that he will not give up his white house, plane, ‘copter, phone and pens.
