It also condemns "the ongoing violence" by the government and pro-government militias against demonstrators, as well as government "suppression of independent electronic communications through interference with the Internet and cell phones."

I'm afraid to ask who the "one" is, although I have my suspicion.

It wouldn't be someone who favors letters of marque and reprisal, would it?

I find this obvious slap-down of Obama, particularly by democrats, curious.

From another thread....

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), one of two Muslim members of Congress. He said Congress should “not allow ourselves to be used” against the people it is trying to protect.

These “votes” “condemnations” and “strongly worded letters” are doing a world of good. We are sooooo screwed.

From the linked article:

“Rep. Ron Paul, a Texas libertarian who often speaks out against what he regards as government meddling, cast the sole opposing vote.”
