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.

Crapping in your pants,, how about some diapers because that’s what your all are full of it!
It would be the biggest mistake you chuckle heads could ever pull. You keep on thinking that the military would obey an order like that, you’re dreaming. You taking action against the US citizens will be your downfall. Besides none of you has a big enough set.
You try it and see what happens!!!
Anyone with haft a brain knows that this is false. The Constitution can not be changed with out a Constitution conviction. Why would you post such a thing? You have lost all creditable with me. Taking you out of my news feed.
