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.

Either party isn’t for the American people..those in office including the Supreme Court should have removed him from office years ago for treason…Hmmm…when does it become aiding and abetting…we need to remove all from office. No one should be above the law of the land. Vote them out. With the Convention of States the ‘We the People’ will make the laws.

Thomas J. Whyte Before calling names you need too know what your talking about !!What’s your plan ? Have you bought what the Republican Establishment is selling ” if you don’t vote for whoever the Establishment picks then Hillary will win ” what I’m saying is I will not be strong armed !! I will not vote for any sitting Republican period if the Establishment cheats Trump out of the nomination. I hope he runs a third party. I will no longer be blind to the elite Republican Establishment fraud. We have enabled them by trusting them way way too much too do the right thing but we were lied to.
You have a nerve after Obama to say a word
