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.

Are you speaking for him ?…a threat or promise .?
Won’t happen. Where do you get this stuff?
And you motherfuckers in Washington gave it to him without the consent of the people-fucking traitors! If shtf-you bitches better cower and hide-your lives will be worth s**t
So what are you suggesting Senator that our President takes the final step of destroying our country? You think the American citizens are going to sit quietly by and allow that to happen? You have to be a damn fool. There are 21 million veterans we swore to uphold the Constitution and protect our flag. Don’t p**s us off.
Truth, Obama may declare martial law in U S but our military is for the People! And they will defend us and not him!!! Civil war coming
As long as we keep voting these people back in office we’ll keep getting what we’re asking for. We know they lie to us every election but they are reelected & we suffer the consequences. Are we never going to learn, only we the people can stop this insanity.
All hands, gathering arms and ammunition, bring on your martial law! We are waiting!!!The 2 nd Amendment, The People will Rise Up and take over!
Read Agenda 21…
William Nichols Read it doesn’t change what I wrote.
