Also, somewhat lost in all of this is the outrage that both GOP and Dem senators have over their briefings.
Here's GOP Sentator Lee presenting his view that Trump and his administration no longer feel the need to involve Congress with decision's around going to war. I'm not even sure I'm pissed at Trump on this one, as the underlying administration and deep seated war industry is even more responsible for this mindset.
"LEE: As I recall, one of my colleagues asked a hypothetical involving the Supreme Leader of Iran: If at that point, the United States government decided that it wanted to undertake a strike against him personally, recognizing that he would be a threat to the United States, would that require authorization for the use of military force?
The fact that there was nothing but a refusal to answer that question was perhaps the most deeply upsetting thing to me in that meeting."
