BREAKING: Military Martial Law Bill Sneaked Through by Senate
• http://www.prisonplanet.com, Kit DanielsSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is attempting to fast track a "war powers" bill that will allow President Obama nearly unlimited power to deploy the military anywhere in the world for any length of time – including on U.S. soil.
"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.
