Senator Says War Powers Resolution Against Trump Will Have GOP Support

[ShazzieB]

5. What are you saying "no" to?

I'm really not clear on exactly what you mean by that one word answer.

Do you think Kaine is lying when he says "Republican lawmakers in his chamber have expressed support in voting for a War Powers Resolution"? I think that would be a silly thing to lie about, because it could be so easily disproven.

Do you disagree with seeking a War Powers Resolution against Trump? If not, I'd like to know your rationale. I'm not clear about exactly what it would accomplish in a purely practical sense, but I think some things, including this, are worth doing as a matter of principle. I certainly can't see any reason NOT to seek such a Resolution, especially if there's a possibility of getting some Republicans on the record as opposing Schlump's actions in bombing Iran.

If you simply think that such an effort is doomed to failure and therefore a waste of time, I disagree. Kaine has served in the Senate for 12 years, which means he knows how things like this work. I can't see why he would talk about this publicly unless he was pretty he's got his ducks in a row. That would be just plain stupid, and he doesn't strike me as being a stupid person. Among other things, I can't really see someone as smart as Hillary Clinton chosing a stupid guy as her running mate.

In the meantime, I keep hearing complaints about Democrats not "doing anything," and here's a Democrat with an idea about something he thinks he might be able to do, so I'm inclined to cheer him on.
