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.

Obama opposes the bill in question. So your still blaming Obama and the democrats? The AUMF was something that was started in 2001 in the Bush administration and congress wants to extend it for whoever is the next president, be it republican or democrat. So you’re incoherent, ill informed reply makes absolutely no sense. To your racist remark – I believe you better do a little more research regarding the current presidential nominees.
As for your meme, Detective Sullivan, do you have any other proof? Other than a meme made by ‘Conspiracy Weekly’? Because I’m sure the Justice Department would surely take any new evidence you have under consideration. Then again, what do people in the Justice Department know?! Years of service and expertise in their respective field hold no candle to the public’s right wing sluthing skills.
You suffer from a severe case of Misinformation. Luckily there is a cure. Extensive Research and staying away from and propaganda on either side of the political fence should do the trick.
Who’s he? Obama? FYI. This bill was introduced (as an extension to an original bill passed in 2001 during the bush administration) by a Republican and opposed by both Obama and the democrats for broad and excessive power.
So why blame Obama. He didn’t propose it. Matter of fact he opposes it for it’s broad and excessive power. Additionally, information about ‘executive privilege actions’ show that Obama made less EOs than the any president after Gerald ford. Do some research.

I don’t care who has the most or what they were. I just don’t like the ones O has used.
Oh, I seen it all and have actually researched it. The fact that you blatantly disregard any fact about the current administration tells me that you’re too focused on just trying to rip on the DNC. I personally don’t care for either party right know, but I do my diligent research. If you really want to be educated, do some of your own research. The level of corruption is far worse on the side your promoting.
And if Jesus ever calls you back, ask him why he didn’t author his own book?

Ok, when did happen? who were the GOP that did it. Give me proof this happened as you say.
You keep repeating yourself, doesn’t make it true. Give me time dates and persons. What you say means nothing.
