Mike Lee is a GOP Senator from Utah who is co-chair of Trump's campaign there. Mike Lee is an erudite chap who along with his brother is routinely considered for the SCOTUS. Mike Lee called the briefing he got on the Solemaini strike "Un-American" (NR). Now why couldn't Mike Lee get over himself and his brilliance and farflung principles on the Deep State and the War Powers Act and the like JUST THIS ONCE and either not use such over the top lingo or, better yet, go to the POTUS in private and explain his reservations that way? Being a team player does not mean simply saying yes all the time to the Boss but it also means knowing which team you're playing on from time to time and not helping the other side. Grow up and stop living in a vaccuum or planet where you are seemingly oblivious to the uses Trump's vicious and partisan opponents will make of your comments. Only in the sport of politics, would a deliberate fumble like this be rewarded!
(As for briefings, I can only imagine how many times Dem Congressmen were arrogantly or insensitively briefed by Obama's minions. They couldn't even get Obama on the phone in those days! But, did they ever complain about it in public?)
