US Senate Calls for No-Fly Zone on Libya

I keep forgetting to mention this. 

Congress keeps calling for the President to seek their permission for his actions in Libya.  But on March 1^st – a month ago – the Senate passed Resolution 85, a non-binding demand for a no-fly zone over Libya, by unanimous consent.  No reason to go to Congress, they already voted.

We should keep that in mind when the Republicans and progressives start politicizing this war.

By the way, try finding any reference to this action on any major news site – it’s not there.  Hillary said it Sunday and it’s on the Senate site but not reported by the press.  Why?  I know it’s just grandstanding but it’s noteworthy grandstanding.
