90 US Senators Vote to Continue Giving War Powers to War Monger Obama

In 2007, Barack Obama attacked George W. Bush on his war powers. In 2011, after Obama launched a war against Libya, Senator Rand Paul introduced a bill in the Senate that would limit Obama's war powers based on Obama's own words from 2007.

“The language of my resolution is not unfamiliar to many: the language of this resolution are the president’s words,” Paul said Wednesday in remarks on the Senate floor.

The symbolic resolution contains only one sentence – a statement that then-Sen. Barack Obama made in 2007 – that “the president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.’”

All those Democrats who complained and moaned about George W. Bush's war powers, like Harry Reid, obviously don't have a problem with war when a Democrat starts it. My friends, I have a problem with any war that isn't Constitutional and can be viewed as nothing more than aggression. It's not very American, and John Quincy Adams would agree. America "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy."

53 Democrats showed their hypocritical side yesterday with their vote to shelf Paul's one-sentence resolution, and of course the neocons joined in. 37 Republican neocon war mongers voted to shelf Senator Paul's resolution. So much for those Republican promises of following the Constitution once again.

Here are the ten Senators who voted to ensure the Constitution is followed when it comes to acts of war:

Sens. Rand Paul (Kentucky), Mike Lee (Utah), Susan Collins (Maine), Jim DeMint (S.C.), John Ensign (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Jeff Session (Ala.), Olympia Snowe (Maine) and Pat Toomey (Pa.).
