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.

Has congress going buckets ???
All these RINOs need to go. The longer they are in their position, the more comfortable and corrupt they get. Get them out!! Send them a big message that the people are still in charge.
Mitch McConnell needs to removed from office like John Boehner .he’s just as two faced .
obammie is a tyrant who needs to be impeached immediately and if the congress was doing they job, he would have been a long time ago; that is why the people are all voting against the establistment.
Has congress gone bunkers?? Or just careless ?
What?
Our forefathers forsaw such possibilities, when they wrote for three branches of government, whose branches are kept in check by our Constitution, along with the Bill of rights. All the safeguards they put in to protect us from
Tyrannical Despots & would be Kings.
We need to recall everyone in Congress and the administration before any of these outrageous proposals are carried out.
Sounds like Mitch McConnell
