Senator Rand Paul’s resolution opposing President Obama’s use of force in Libya gained the support of 10 Republican senators — and not a single Democrat.
The resolution was the same as a quote from President Obama when he was a Senator and presidential candidate:
“The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
The resolution was defeated by a motion to table. The vote was 90-10.
Republican Senators voting to oppose US intervention in Libya were:
Collins (R-ME), DeMint (R-SC), Ensign (R-NV), Johnson (R-WI), Lee (R-UT), Moran (R-KS), Paul (R-KY), Sessions (R-AL), Sowe (R-ME), Toomey (R-PA)
Where are the antiwar Democrats?
