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?

Former CIA Chief of the “bin Laden Unit” Michael Scheuer went on CNN this morning to explain the folly of US intervention in Libya and easily handled CNN’s war cheerleaders.
