BREAKING: Senate Sneaking Through Bill Allowing Military Martial Law?!!!

Sen­ate Ma­jor­ity Lead­er Mitch Mc­Con­nell is trying to fast track a “WAR POWERS” bill that will give President Obama some really SCARY powers. WHY is Mitch doing this on a Friday during the worst storm in D.C. ever!

“The Authorization for Use of Military Force put for­ward by Mc­Con­nell would not re­strict the pres­id­ent’s use of ground troops, nor have any lim­its re­lated to time or geo­graphy,” Defense One reported.
In other words, the authorization allows the president to deploy the military anywhere at his discretion – both foreign and domestic – for as long as he wants.
Several senators, including Sen­ate Ma­jor­ity Whip John Cornyn, were surprised by McDonnell’s decision to fast-track the bill after a year of deep in-fighting over similar measures in the Senate.
“He did?” he asked the Na­tion­al Journ­al on Thursday morn­ing when reporters informed him about the bill.
Even some Senate Democrats have an issue with a new authorization without geographical restrictions placed on the president.
“I’m for the Con­gress vot­ing on an AUMF; of course it de­pends what the AUMF looks like,” Sen. Robert Men­en­dez said Thursday. “I don’t want a blank check.”

NO President should have this power, McConnell and his cronies really scare me that they want to give the power to Obama. The fact that no one is watching scares me even more!
