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.

Mitch McConnell needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of town . Useless turncoat.
No Marshall law. We are being set up for a dictatorship and total destruction of the US. Think of your children and grandchildren. McConnel needs to go now.

ZoeJane here something else to consider then. There are 30 million vets in this country. 22 million are able to walk into battle today. Myself being one. I understand the concern and I do believe he may try. I’m just saying in the end he will have wished he didn’t try. Many of us have seen this day coming for years. We have armed up,ammo up and trained over and over for it. This will be his nightmare. After all think about it. With less than 200,000 troops we have taken over every middle east country,not to mention have held off every country in the world from attacking us for over 70 years. Even Japan made the statement years ago. You can’t over take America. There a rifle behind every blade of grass. I’m more worried about our kids and grandkids being attacked on the streets by these illegals,muslims and mexicans. Than I’m am martial law.
