Senate Democrats to Stall Chamber to Force War Probe

“Senate Democrats are preparing to force a series of time-consuming repeat votes on the war in Iran in the coming days that could grind the Senate to a halt, a tactic aimed as much at disrupting the chamber’s work as at compelling the Trump Administration to publicly defend a conflict that has so far unfolded with little formal scrutiny from Congress,” Time reports.

“The strategy, which is still being finalized, would mark the Democrats’ most aggressive effort yet to force accountability for the war, as they have grown increasingly frustrated that senior officials have yet to testify under oath in open session about the rationale, costs, and objectives of a war now entering its third week.”
