How the Senate was bait and switched into war |
2011-04-06 |
Did the president go to war without any approval from the Senate, as Sen. Paul says? Or did the Senate approve the president’s use of military force, as Secretary Clinton claims? The answer involves a secretive Senate procedure known as “hotlining.” |

#1 Our Congresscritters have all sorts of ways to screw the American people in secret. Bait and switch? You have to pass the resolution to read it [Pelosi]? Senators voted on one resolution[that was like voting for the Girlscouts or motherhood] and it was replaced later by the real resolution. At 6:30 pm, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took to a near empty chamber, and introduced the brand new resolution and asked that it be approved without debate or vote. By 6:31, the resolution was passed. Charles Schumer is an underhanded snake. |
