Senator Paul is currently demanding a debate and an up or down vote on continuing the war in Afghanistan and other ongoing (never ending) wars including Yemen and Syria. In his live remarks he just quoted his father, Rep. Ron Paul, “We just marched in, we can just march out.”
Another year and another Congress continues to turn a blind eye to constitutional principles regarding foreign policy and war. It seems like only one senator is standing against the establishment flood. Senator Rand Paul, almost entirely alone. Reminds me of another Dr. Paul. (Check out Dr. Paul’s lonely tweet storm down below.)
The Senate attempted to shorten debate & move forward without consideration & debate on my amendment to end our AUMF in Afghanistan and Iraq

Where is the anti-war left demanding the wars end? Where is the constitional conservative right demanding Congress reclaim its war powers?

Hypocrites, they pretend concern over our constitutional duty to declare war and then block any vote on ending any of our 7 current wars
