Graham: You Can’t Designate Anybody You Want as a Target

‘535 members of Congress don’t sit down and designate what threats the nation faces’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "So there’s going to be an amf debate come out of this. Because some people are going to say, wait a minute. You can designate anybody you want to designate and here’s the answer. Congress is not set up to be military commanders. 535 members of Congress don’t sit down and designate what threats the nation faces. The groups morph weekly. They pledge allegiance to ISIL and other groups by the day. It’s impractical and unconstitutional for Congress to make that decision. Having said that, when you designate somebody, an individual or a group, you need to inform us. Then we have the ability to say we don’t agree and we’re not going to fund that operation. So the Intel communicatety has a collaborative process with tin tell community. I think what senator John McCain is doing here, as the war expands and there’s more authority, the require will require more information."
