<div dir="ltr">In the all the time that Rodney Davis has been my Representative, he hasn't done one single thing I've asked him to do on war and peace, even when it was bipartisan, even when it was simply a matter of saying that the President should comply with the War Powers Clause of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, which is U.S. law. <div><br></div><div>Let's give Rodney Davis the slowest pitch imaginable. Let's ask him to issue a public statement in support of President Trump's diplomacy with North Korea. </div><div>

<p>A key reason that we have too much war is that too many Democrats and Republicans opportunistically support unconstitutional wars whenever the President belongs to their party and too many Democrats and Republicans opportunistically oppose diplomacy whenever the President belongs to the other party. </p>
<p>Now, some Senate Democrats are opportunistically opposing U.S. diplomacy with North Korea - which Democrats have long supported - just because Donald Trump, a Republican, is President. </p>
<p>California Democratic Rep. <b><span style="box-sizing:border-box">Ro Khanna</span></b> and liberal <em style="box-sizing:border-box">New York Times</em> columnist <b><span style="box-sizing:border-box">Nick Kristof</span></b> are calling out these Senate Democrats for their shameful opportunism.</p>

<p>Rep.

Democrats should learn from the blunder of the Iraq war.</span></b><span style="box-sizing:border-box"></span>"</p>
<p>In addition to <span style="box-sizing:border-box">Schumer</span>, Democratic senators who signed a letter insisting on conditions for a deal that North Korea specialist Joel Wit of the Stimson Center called "<b><span style="box-sizing:border-box">a prescription for failure because no one could achieve the conditions</span></b>" <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FN5Sar19Unvvj%2BQE4laUg9gTv5jMd0bE" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(236,44,34)" target="_blank">were</a> <b><span style="box-sizing:border-box">Sherrod Brown, Dick Durbin, Dianne Feinstein, Patrick Leahy, Robert Menendez </span></b>and<b><span style="box-sizing:border-box"> Mark Warner</span></b>. </p>
