The revelations came during a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee and surprised even experts in America's use of force stemming from the terrorist attacks in 2001.
"This is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I've been to since I've been here. You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution today," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) told four senior U.S. military officials who testified about the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force and what it allows the White House to do.
King and others were stunned by answers to specific questions about where President Barack Obama could use force under the key provision of the AUMF -- a 60-word paragraph that targeted those responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
"I learned more in this hearing about the scope of the AUMF than in all of my study in the last four or five years," said Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith, who was called by the committee to offer independent comments on the issue. "I thought I knew what the application [of the AUMF] meant, but I'm less confident now," he added later. Source
This government is out of control, and American's don't give a shit. We deserve what's coming. I hate this place.

I'd wager that they are trying to achieve voicing an opinion over a health care plan, which in their opinion, is not a good thing for the country.
People are so fast to penalize the other side for wanting to voice opposition, and I am merely remarking that democracy is dependant on understanding what each group wants. If either side is silenced based on what their "motives" are for wanting to vote, then what's the point?

Exactly, I never said they should be prevented from voting to repeal Obamacare. I'm just pointing out how childish it is.

But their motives are a moot point. What you guys should be arguing for is an ammendment to how the Sennate opperates. Yeah voting on something 37 times is probably overkill, but that's a problem with the Sennate as an institution, and yet fingers are pointed at opposing political views instead.
If this is the logic being used, why is Obama after 37 votes to repeal still trying to push this agenda? Why is he still trying to push gun legislation or anything else that keeps getting denyed by the Sennate? Because in a democratic society, they have the right to try. And, in turn, people have the right to vote yes or no.

It's not the Senate, it's the House. Obama isn't "pushing" anything with regards to the health care law - it's already the law of the land. The gun legislation had a chance to pass, but it didn't, so right now they aren't trying to push it again - they'll wait until they have the votes. The House, meanwhile, voted for the 37 times for a repeal they know has no chance to pass the Senate.

Obama is not pushing agenda after 37 votes. Obamacare is already through and is a law. Obama is not pushing his gun proposals over and over again just to make a statement. They have the right to try and I have the right to ridicule them when they show they are more interested in posturing instead of actually doing something constructive.

How can you say that he isn't pushing gun laws to make a statement, when at the same time you're saying it's wrong to keep fighting against Obamacare? Do you not see the hypocracy? Obviously with the partisanship of the the President vs the House, these things aren't going to pass, but of course they are still going to try.
Yes you have the right, but I'm merely suggesting that you should consider the fact that this isn't something that is isolated to one party.

You realize you just switched topics, right? This was about the Republicans altering the official Benghazi e-mails to score political points.

The White House and State Department had more in mind than politics, which is pretty obvious if you compare before/after. The GOP did it purely for political gains.
But nice deflection!
Edit: I mean, are you seriously comparing the normal process for a release going from CIA -> State to people taking emails, editing them to make it look worse for the state department, then RELEASING them as the original? Seriously?

Though I guess in this day and age, losing an ambassador is nothing compared to the tragedy that would be holding Obama responsible for what occurs under his watch. I hope you are not hypocrite and you demand previous administration to be held responsible for death of thousands of Americans for which they were much more responsible than Obama is for Benghazi. If you are, good for you. I am still unclear if Obama is actually responsible in any reasonable way for what happened in Benghazi.
There is a difference between a loss of soldiers in a war, an inevitability, and the loss of an ambassador. Obama is responsible in that his State dept. ignored warnings that could have prevented the attack, his administration has tried to cover-up what happened, and his administration did not respond in any kind of adequate way to the attack while it was occurring. Further, the old sayings: "The buck stops here" and "Shit rolls up-hill" should at least, to any responsible leader, be a motivation to take responsibility for the failings of the people the leader instated. So far all we've gotten out of Obama is "I had nothing to do with it, it was that person/organization" on every scandal that arises. David Axlerod is even going out saying that he couldn't have anything to do with any of it because the federal government is just too big for him to control. Obama and his high-level friends/associates/underlings have taken no responsibility for any failing or wrongdoing that has occurred in the entire 4+ years of his presidency. It's a sickening example of cowardly leadership, if calling it "leadership" could even be considered to be accurate.
