U.S. Senators New Plan to Expand Indefinite Detention Laws and Make Global War Endless

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse with the U.S. Congress, a bipartisan pair of senators have teamed up to write the single most dangerous piece of unconstitutional legislation in this history of this Congress. 

Last week, Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a joint resolution, S. J.Res. 59, which is a new Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). An AUMF is roughly the modern equivalent of a Declaration of War, and the Corker-Kaine AUMF gives President Trump and lots of future presidents the authority to take the country to war against an endless list of groups and individuals in an endless list of countries.

The result will be true global war without end.

The two senators wanted to get a quick vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week and have the Bill rocket through the Senate and House and onto the President’s desk. Fortunately for all of us, senators from both parties, from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to Sen. Jeff Merkely (D-Ore.), forced a slowdown. But Corker and Kaine are working overtime to try to jam their AUMF through Congress, which is a dumpster fire of bad ideas.
