Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is fast tracking a war powers bill through the Senate that would grant Obama virtually unlimited authority to deploy US armed forces anywhere in the world for any amount of time, opening the door for indefinite martial law on US soil.
Senate majority whip John Cornyn, as well as other senators, reacted with surprise when reporters questioned them about McConnell’s sudden fast-tracking of the bill after a year of entrenched debate. Even Democrat senators reacted with some apprehension, such as Senator Robert Mendez, who fundamentally agrees with the powers granted by the bill but doesn’t want to give Obama “a blank check.”
This sudden turn of events is both puzzling and worrisome. As the Presidential election looms on the horizon, the timing of such a bill is troublesome.

Jeffery I don’t have your confidence in the goverment or Barack hussein.
Why would McConnell do this??? This cannot be.
Time for Mitch to go
Mitch McDonnell is a senile old man who can’t scratch his head and his butt at the same time! He is one of the poster boys for TERM LIMITS!!! N
Remove him NOW! We the people may have to do it!
I can’t believe the republicans are behind this. This gives obama total power over the US to call for Martial law for anything and congress will lose the power to do anything. Better find a good hiding place for your guns because he is not finished before he leaves office. This is crazy and this will change everything. Surly obama will not take advantage of this NOT. Be ready America because thing could get crazy in the US. Lock N load.
Get him out he is out of his mind
Americans are the ones he wants war with. He has no intentions of stepping down.
