While this may make sense to 0bama's more monarchical followers, his "waiving" bits of established federal law that tend to get in the way of his programs is at the least questionable and at the most outrageously unconstitutional. Not that it will stop him.

The press should be screaming and it isn't. Congress should be criticizing bitterly and it isn't. And so it is quite out in the open now: 0bama will sell whatever he likes to whomever he announces is "vetted", and we have already seen what his idea of non-terrorist is - those would be the ones with the decapitation knives. Why bother to write laws at all?

On May 22, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 15 to 3 to arm the Syrian rebels.

Those voting no were the right wing isolationist Rand Paul and the two antiwar dems, Wyden and Udall.
