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.

I hope it is not too late to stop this.
Stop the military martial law bill. Read it well.
He’s trying to get it through to stop the election and keep him in power.
This needs to be stopped.
They’re just going to run out the clock, because they don’t have the balls to impeach the first black president, no matter what crimes he’s committed.
It’s time people. We must take our own country back. Obuma has torn this country apart
The Constitution stays as is. If you don’t like it then leave American.
Lary Carpenter – thanks for posting this. I’m sure a lot of people are not aware and at this point need to be. I accidentally came across this information last year when looking for something else – then I researched the Rothschild family and other international families and groups who are all connected in some way with one another.
I am more worried about the changes made in America to accommodate the diversity of pure evil. Sgt Martland thrown out of the service because he stopped an afghani from raping a little boy! I don’t care what they say, it wasn’t part of that child’s culture! What’s next, allying with those who practice human sacrifice? We are moving towards the dark side of the force. We don’t need to live with those okay with that.
F*CK Obama !
obamacare did that way back. We are being handled/.
