Unlimited Unprecedented Unconstitutional

Think of it?

Giving this power to a single man. Yet they are poised to give the power to one of the worst possible.


""Senators Offer Up Unprecedented War Powers to President""

http://www.theamericanconservative.c...-kaine-corker/

""Perversely billed as a plan to “reassert” Congressional power to “authorize where, when and with who we are at war,” the proposal for a new AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) falls way short of that promise. In fact, it achieves quite the opposite. The bill, if passed, would not only codify all of the authority the president has now to fight Al Qaeda and Taliban and “associated forces” as interpreted in the current 2001 AUMF, but allow the president to add as many targets as desired in the future. Congress can only reverse these add-ons with a veto-proof supermajority, and the White House is not mandated to fully disclose any new “associated forces” publicly or even to the full Congress. Nor is there a sunset provision requiring Congressional reauthorization, only a mere “review” every four years.""




Just in time for a new tact on the Middle East and North Korea! O MY!

A wise Supreme Court will put the kibosh on this unlimited abrogation by one branch in favor of another. If we have a wise Supreme Court.

I am having trouble loading the link. Perhaps their site has crashed or been hacked. Good.
