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.

ZoeJane Jewels do you think our own military will sit by while our country is invaded by other armed military to kill us? Come on,this is our sons,daughter,brothers,sisters,father’s and mother serving. I have 3 sons in the military. I really don’t think my son’s are going to sit there while me or you or anyone else is locked up,shot or anything else. If you have family serving and you think they would allow this. Then you have far bigger problems than martial law.
We got the leadership of the House straightened out with Ryan, now we must get the Senate a leader with balls
