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.

Yea Jenni but the UN (NWO) call the shots not Ovomit- he’s a puppet that does their bidding. He just acts like an$#%&!@*because he is one
I can’t believe how this country has gone in the last 30 years. Since you waged war on Vietnam you have been slowly sinking into the abyss but since obumma has been in office it’s like your now on an out of control jet. The corruption that you have allowed to continue seems unstoppable you have an egotistical mad man in charge and a congress who have been bought for lot of money an now have to preformed for their masters. Maybe you all should start praying for a earth quake to take the white house and congress at the same time preferably when congress is sitting and obumma is home.

William Evans DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS LAW? … Islam, by law, is PROHIBITED from US immigration … The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government
You cannot rewrite the Constitution! Period!
It’s B******t!
So was that the point all along? So much chaos going on, bring a number of refugees and illegals (ISIS/ISIL cells) into the United States causing a unsafe situation and declare martial law? Everything could fall under military control and basically cause America as we know it to come to a stand still. Hopefully our military and law enforcement will disobey any order given to that effect, their oath includes foreign and domestic enemies.
May God help us.
