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.

You need to really read it. Read slowly and really pay attention to what those words are saying in its entirety. When you do you will realize that over the last quite a few years that our government has given its self the supposed permission to do as it pleases despite what the people say. Which is not upholding or supporting the constutution. Which is break the oaths they tale for offices on a state and federal level which in turn is enough to classify them participating in rebellion. Which in turn by our laws says that they can be charged with treason, removed from office forcibly, and citizenship revoked, and then deported. And only 2/3 of the houses can change that only years later too.
Hal Waltz I did my homework and I did it yes online but the old fashioned way of researching every aspect of the subject. Research Thomas Jefferson on the second amendment. You’ll find it interesting to read the whole amendment in its complete form.
