The District of Columbias non-voting delegate to Congress says that because of her uncertainty about striking Syria, the only reason she would see herself voting to authorize military action would be out of loyalty to a fellow Democrat in President Obama.
Speaking with Bill Press this morning, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) explained her belief that a response to Syrias use of chemical weapons is necessary; however, she is unsure whether that needs to be done militarily. I cant believe that the only way to address it is a slight bombing which will somehow punish somebody or deter somebody, she said.
Asked whether the president would be justified in taking action even after Congress potentially votes down his proposals, Norton said: No, oh boy, no. I think itll be like the red line trap. He said if the red line you cross it. I think once you say, Im going to Congress, you cant say, Okay, Im going to do it anyway.
As D.C.s delegate to Congress, Holmes is unable to actually cast a vote in the debate, but she told Press: If [Obama] gets saved at all, I think itll be because, itll be because of loyalty of Democrats. They just dont want to see him shamed and humiliated on the national stage.
She elaborated: At the moment, thats the only reason I would vote for it if I could vote on it.

She is no different than an enabler for Hitler, Pol Pot or Idi Amin.
Simply astonishing.
And profoundly disturbing that the media is not calling her out for the racist sycophant that she is.
Clever cat, nice pussy-cat. Anyone with body-pierced bits deserves to be chewed.
amophys, where are you? I would like to hear from you before we clean your clock.
Let me guess: black-on-black violent crime?
Nah; that might be honest; must be something about evil white crackas, and how to shake them down again.

All those credits and all that education, and she still would go along with bombing those citizens of Damascus who are Christians and Alawites while the ‘rebel’ Sunni muslims want to slaughter them and take the remains of the city as booty, because the world must not belong to those who don’t believe muhammad was the most perfect man who ever lived?
Eleanour Holmes-Norton, allow me to tell you this: If it should happen that one day we can make the same choice in regards to you and yours, and MY government were to be culpable in such an insanity, I personally would NOT lift a finger to help you, you sickening piece of sh...
