The next day isn't fast enough?

This was planned last week. The Democrats intentionally stalled it to give Trump time to bomb Iran. Democrats fully support the Iran invasion.

What control does the minority party really have over this stuff? What does congress allow a minority to do when the majority are blood thirsty racists desperate to protect blood thirsty pedophiles?

I’d like to hear what OP could accomplish in the same shoes?

look they just needed an emergency vacation break due to this event happening so close to their last vacation.

So they pass it, then what, who can enforce it?

They wanted people on the record for supporting the war before Trump started the bombing. The DNC delayed the vote to prevent that.

If it passes both houses, Trump vetos it, and it has to go back to both houses and acquire 2/3rds support to overrule his veto.

It will never get to a point where someone has to enforce it, because we won't get that many representatives to go against Trump

to go against Trump

maybe Trump, but Isreal too? No shot.

Not the LAST person I would have expected to be vocal in opposition to this administration, but given his knife fixation I would have thought that he'd be quiet on the topic or a quiet conservative. Glad to see my intuition was wrong.

Dude's a Mormon with a doomsday bunker so color me surprised.

Still faster than the House, that feels like getting around to voting on an active war on Thursday of this week.

At least they’re voting. Time to get these war mongers on record for being the demons they are.
