Description

Sam Stein talks with Senator Tim Kaine as he forces a Senate vote to block Trump from waging war with Iran without congressional approval. Kaine says lawmakers are ducking their constitutional duty and warns the administration’s rationale echoes the run-up to Iraq. If senators want this war, he argues, they should have the guts to put their names on it. Delegate smarter and grow faster.

Thank you Senator Kaine for at least trying to get each member on the record on the Iran war. History will remember even if the voters do not.

If they don't want votes on the record, they picked the wrong line of work. I'm sure their constituents will accept their resignations if they aren't up to the task

I agree force a vote so when things go to hell we'll know who to blame.

*Chef's kiss* on making Republicans vote for war and deal with an angry electorate. MAGA would love to blame their Senators instead of their cult leader.

The American people voted for this and the Republicans and Scotus are complicit…good luck stopping any of this. The damage is done and the consequences will be felt for decades.

This is terrifying. I am tired of hearing that members of Congress don't want to act because they are "afraid" of being held accountable for their actions. If you can't represent your constituents honestly and with conviction, if you can't review the information and make a decision that is in the best interest of the people who elected you, then you should not be in Congress. If you are not a leader, go home. If you put party above people, you should not win elections. Take responsibility. This is sickening.
