It will come as no surprise to readers here that recent discoveries, and unearthed hidden agendas, about ‘Decepticons’ including Michele Bachmann are revealing a troubling truth.   Another example shows up this afternoon, this is a breaking story so I’m a little hesitant to get out in front of it, but first let me explain the back story.
Early this morning the full House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to admonish President Obama over his arbitrary war by fiat in Libya.  Indeed there is overwhelming bi-partisan consensus that Obama is breaking the law with his continual avoidance of constitutional limits and his arbitrary decision for offensive military engagement in Libya.  Even Obama’s own Office of Legal Council told him specifically he was violating the constitution and the War Powers Act with his decision.  He ignored.   Subsequently this morning the House held a generally unbinding, but highly symbolic, vote to determine support for Obama’s position.   Here is the story on that vote:

(Via San Diego Union) …..The House on Friday overwhelmingly rejected a measure giving President Barack Obama the authority to continue the U.S. military operation against Libya, a major repudiation of the commander-in-chief. The vote was 295-123, with Obama losing the support of 70 of his Democrats one day after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a last-minute plea for the mission.

While the congressional action has no immediate effect on American involvement in the NATO-led mission, it was an embarrassment to a sitting president and certain to have reverberations in Tripoli and NATO capitals. The vote marked the first time since 1999 that either House has voted against a president’s authority to carry out a military operation. The last time was to limit President Bill Clinton’s authority to use ground forces in Kosovo.

The House planned a second vote on legislation to cut off money for the military hostilities in the operation. (article)

So just a few moments ago the House held the funding vote for the illegal War In Libya.  The attempt at cutting off the funding for the war failed, even though by an overwhelming majority, most, believe the war is illegal, some GOP members jumped ship and voted to continue to fund it.   Here is the update on that aspect:

House Votes Down GOP Attempt At Defunding Libyan WarWASHINGTON — The House has turned back a Republican-led effort to cut off money for military hostilities in the Libyan war. The vote was 238-180. It came after the House had overwhelmingly rejected a largely symbolic measure to give President Barack Obama the authority to continue U.S. involvement in the military operation against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.

The funding measure would have barred drone attacks and airstrikes but allowed the United States to continue actions in support of NATO. (article)

If the attempt had been successful Obama would have been pinned against the wall and essentially would have needed to either a) Go to congress and ask for permission, or b) remove American troops from offensive combat operations.   However, the vote failed.
Here is the ROLL CALL VOTE
You will note that Darryl Issa, Allen West, Michele Bachmann and Paul Ryan voted arm in arm support with Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the other rabid progressives to continue this constitutional violation and allow President Obama to continue violating the law.
