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.

Don’t they need to vote on this?? Mitch Mc$#%&!@*up.
Martial laws would be next if this happens
McConnell has to go. C’mon, Kentucky! Ya’ll can do a lot better than this. It’s time for ya’ll to take him down. We need someone who’ll stand up to Obama.
It is way past time for corrupt McConnell to go!
Ok kentucky what are you going to do. Recall is the only option.
Oh and just so you people know. The president has had unlimited power over the military for 30 years. It’s even in the military oath that they must obey him. But the law over rules that when it means attacking your own or not defending the US against foriegn or domestic threats.
