++Chris Wiegant writes in a column at Huffington Post that President Obama has asked Congress since February to give him authorization to use military force. With all the comments in the last two days by the GOP criticizing President Obama,Wiegant says put it all in a AUMF and pass it.
++Wiegant mentions Congress' failure to pass a resolution in 2013 to bomb Syria so what's stopping them now when they are so hot and bothered about Obama's policy. All they have to do is write one of their own to put in the AUMF.
++Today Marco Rubio couldn't deign to attend a hearing on the Paris attacks because he had to go to California for a fund-raiser.
++Weigant has picked up that the GOP is very bothered by what cliche you describe ISIS--Radical Islamic Terrorism, extreme jihadism. Wiegant says don't waste our time with this nonsense put in a document.
++Don't lose any sleep waiting for an AUMF. The only reason I would want to see one passed is that this would be the proper use of Congress.
