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.

In my mind I am standing in a field, screaming at the top of my lungs, “What is wrong with you people?” we might as well give him a crown and call off any further elections.
FIRE him! !!!!!!!!!
mitch mcconnell is the enemy & should be stopped….!
Are we going to eliminate congress? Seems like Obama can change everything all by himself. If he wants it, just change it with a pen and phone. How will we ever undo all of the damage he has caused to this country?
Something is very very wrong here. This man is dangerous to our nation and republic. Are people like McConnell that weak in the mind or are they being threatened with death. Obama is a Muslim honoring the very same Quran that ISIS is reading and living by.
Did McConnell switch his party affiliation?
Imbicelle
Better kill ol Mitch
Another idiot in congress,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
This must be stopped and not allowed to happen….
