Democrats are trying to block a first strike

Sen. Chris Murphy introduced a bill this afternoon that would bar President Trump from launching a first strike on North Korea, except in situations of imminent threat or authorization from Congress. The co-sponsors include Sens. Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren and Cory Booker, along with Brian Schatz, Tammy Duckworth, Jeff Merkley, and Tom Udall.

Why it matters: Democrats have been expressing concerns that Trump's rhetoric and tweeting about using the military option against North Korea could march the U.S. into an unprovoked war. And given some of the high-profile senators backing this bill — and the questions other Democrats raised about North Korea at a hearing yesterday — it's a good bet you'll hear about the issue again, even if the bill itself doesn't advance.

Why? You want that fat **** to attack first? Mighty stupid of you.

I know disabled vets who told me that under Obama's ROE's they were not allowed to fire first. They had to let the enemy fire first, then whoever wasn't shot or blown up on our side could fire back. That's how insane these people are.

Only Obama, right?

I don't know, should I research George Washington how far back to you wish to pursue your deflection idiot.

What a pathetic group of politicians, neither one is or ever will be fit to serve.

Unconstitutional, and old news already discussed a number of times.

This from this afternoon. Pay attention.

The Democrats proposed that same thing 3-4 days ago.

The Republicans were smart electing Pence as VP. It makes America even more helpless in stopping an A war.
