FL-7: State Rep. calls out Murphy for voting against War Powers Resolution

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Murphy is the only Democrat from a district that voted for Hillary Clinton who voted against this resolution.  There's no excuse for this, especially when Matt freaking Gaetz voting for it would have provided more than enough cover for probably all of them.

Don't we want leaders to exercise independent judgment every now and then?  It doesn't seem like she did it for any illegitimate purpose and it didn't impact the outcome.  She also seemed to recognize the decision would garner pushback and explained her vote.

Sure.  But that still doesn't absolve poor independent judgment.

why Does this matter the measure was going to pass the house either way then fail in the senate.

It's not DOA in the Senate.  Mike Lee and Rand Paul will probably vote for it.  And, even after Congress passed Sanders' War Resolution on Yemen last year and Trump vetoed it, US involvement was scaled back anyway because Congress signaled its opposition.  So even if a resolution fails, it still affects how the US conducts itself overseas.
