Tester and Walsh support President’s ISIS policy

Yesterday they voted Aye! on legislation approving arming so-called moderate rebels in Syria as part of President Obama’s plan to wipe ISIS off the planet. There was no debate over the wisdom of this policy. That may come later, after the election.

No wonder Americans so despise Congress. Its members didn’t discharge their constitutional obligation to debate policy before approving it. They just voted Aye! and left town for the campaign trail, where it will serve them right if they choke on the dust.
