Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., rightly believes the current Authorization for the Use of Military Force being cited to target the Islamic State is inappropriate to the present terrorist threat. Unfortunately, Johnson says he accepts it anyway.

Asked by the Washington Examiner for his view on the AUMF, Tuesday, Johnson stated, “No way does it apply to this situation right now. It’s just obvious it doesn’t, but by precedent it does. And so by precedent I really don’t have a problem in — Obama took that authority — and I have no problem with future presidents doing that as well.”
