The measure still failed.


The GOP-led Senate on Thursday narrowly defeated a House-passed War Powers resolution that would restrict President Trump’s action in Iran.

Four GOP Senators Thom Tillis (NC), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME) and Rand Paul (KY) joined the Democrats and voted to restrict Trump’s war powers.

Democrats Senator John Fetterman voted with the Republicans.

The measure failed 49-50.


Always the same ilk.

Damn the world is turning upside down.

No, John Fetterman is not Jewish

He comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch and German-American background with ancestral roots in the area dating back generations.

He is a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania known for his very vocal and steadfast support for Israel and the Jewish community, which has frequently led people to ask about his background or assume he has Jewish roots

Ok, so now I can't say that Festerman has always voted in lock-step with the Establishment. He did good here.

Murkowski, Collins, Thillis and Paul- absolutely no surprise there.

All republicans should have voted for it if they care about the constitution.

While I agree with you here its also fair to say the Democrats did not vote against it because of their constitutional convictions..

No doubt, if Obama or Biden had been in office, it'd be almost the exact opposite, except for the 4 people listed here.

Collins

Is in a pitched battle for re-election against a DSA surrogate. So she has to be anti-Trump. That's why Fetterman switched.

I agree. The four who voted for it should be pimaried. Except Susan Collins. We're not getting better than her out of Maine.

My bad, I meant they should have voted against the Iran war, which would in favor.

I don't think we agree.

He is a libertarian-leaning, anti-war conservative. That's what his voters want and have continuously supported.

So no.
