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.

Let’s invite every one of them in, just so long as the only states that will accept them are Montana and Wyoming. Then they WILL LEARN the REAL American way of life they never get exposed to. And those states are barren enough to bury the jihadists that try to rise up against our tyrannical ways!
Fear mongering…

When are people going to understand? Obama is NOT legally or Constitutionally president. He has NO authority to do anything. He is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. His birthplace and mothers citizenship are irrelevant since his father was NOT a US citizen when he was born giving him Duel citizenship making him totally ineligible for president. Congress and the Senate have known this from the beginning. Obama could be arrested for impersonation of a federal official, at the very least, immediately IF our laws were being enforced. DEMAND OUR Laws be ENFORCED!
