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.

THIS IS THE KIND OF STUPID THAT IS THE LIBERALS IN THE SENATE.
If you accept the premise that obama hates America, and hates Americans, then everything he has said, and done, and everything he has not said and not done, makes perfect sense. To better understand the origin of his beliefs, and their foundation, read, in his own words, obama’s books, “Dreams From My Father” and “Audacity of Hope”. Then look at what he has done in light of what he has said. barack obama is also a follower of, and a believer in Saul Alinsky, a communist community organizer who wrote a book titled “Rules for Radicals”. Additionally read the books “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” by Dinesh D’Souza; “Why the Left Hates America” by Daniel J. Flynn; “The Amateur” by Edward Klein; “Culture of Corruption” by Michelle Malkin; and “The Post-American Presidency” by Pamela Geller. These authors coorelate, in detail, the experiences, circumstances, and situations, many of which shaped obama’s mind, clearly demonstrated throughout his presidency. Read/examine these publications, then tell me you can honestly believe barack obama, and the left, have America’s interests in his mind, let alone in their heart. More directly obama is doing exactly what he stated 5 days before he was elected for his first term as president – his promise that “we are 5 days from fundamentally transforming America”. barack obama is the greatest threat this country has ever faced. That he was elected at all is one thing, but that the American people have tolerated repeated insult, injury, and acts of lawlessness from this man, without objection, yet elected him for a second term says far more about us than it does about him. During his formative youth, obama was raised and schooled principally in Hawaii and Indonesia where he was simmered in racism, communism, marxism, and islam. As a result, “president”, obama has exploded our debt, weakened our military, undermined the Constitution, worsened race relations, fanned class warfare, promoted communism, alienated friends, coddled enemies, ignored our laws, erased our borders, flooded our cities with unvetted muslims, punished success, wreaked havoc on our healthcare system, championed islam, denigrated Christians and Christianity, coursened our culture, demonized police, poisoned our politics, weaponized the IRS, EPA, BLM and other government agencies, and turned our schools into indoctrination centers. This is not the result of incompetence, this has occurred by design.
“Treason” is Obama’s code name.
And how did the Senate/Congress allow this to happen???
F**K OBAMA
There will be an uprising! I don’t care who you think you are, you can’t “rewrite the Constitution!
this must not happen Obama should not have any powers at all.
Okay; why the hell have our senators that are supposed to represent the people allowed him to do this?
