Chris Murphy (D-CT), 47-53: “Perhaps never has a war started so disastrously with so many missed opportunities to end it. The blowback of this war is only beginning and will continue to mount – for U.S. interests, the global economy and the people of Iran. Yet the Senate failed a third time to act and voted down a resolution to end it. “With a possible ground invasion of Iran being planned that would trigger mass casualties and deepen a global economic and strategic crisis, only 47 Senators upheld their duty to the Constitution and the American people who overwhelmingly oppose this war. “Those 53 Senators who voted to allow the war to continue should make clear: do they support this war escalating? Do they want Donald Trump to commit troops to a war that they don’t even have the courage to authorize? And how much death and destruction is enough before they’ll do the right thing and act to end this war?”
