Senator Tim Kaine’s (D-VA) latest attempt to restrict President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct military operations has been struck down in the Senate.

The failed effort deals another blow to Democrats trying to rein in the White House’s response to Iranian aggression.

Kaine’s war powers resolution failed largely along party lines.

Had it passed, it would have required congressional debate and approval before the president could authorize military strikes like the ones launched against Iran last weekend.

Iranian aggression

I thought Israel started strikes this time, with missiles directed at the apartments of Iranian nuclear scientists.

If you take a class for a concealed carry permit, you'll learn that simply displaying a weapon is considered, 'use of force', which depending on the circumstance can land you in jail.

I consider Iran brandishing enriched nuclear material the same. It's aggression.

Not that it is or isn't any of our business. I'm not interested in arguing about that.

I thought they were hiding their weapons program, not brandishing it.

Yes, one does not brandish an empty holster.

Dunno. Never found any radiation signatures. Rumor Mill speculates that the Iranians were actually working on plasma weapons. Nukes are so obsolete. Nukes were another bogey because all sides still want to hide the existence of advanced weapons technology.
