One Congressperson does not even make a quorum.

...But at least one member of Congress (click here) appears to believe the warnings from Trump's top Iran hawks, National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and it's former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). In a classified briefing Wednesday, Cheney "argued that the intelligence warranted an escalation against Iran," the Post reports, citing a person with knowledge of the briefing. "In response, Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton (Mass.) (click here) accused her of exaggerating the threat in what the person described as a 'very heated exchange.'"...

I might point out that Congressman Seth Moulton was a soldier. He understands war. He even has his health care needs attended to by the Veterans' Administration. I believe him to be trustworthy. He does not want to plunge the USA into an unnecessary war causing thousands and thousands of deaths. I know who I can trust with the military of this country and it is not a person willing to believe the worst without balancing the costs of human tragedy.

Congresswoman Cheney is looking toward becoming a US Senator in 2020. I don't think she will make it if she is unwilling to think before she acts.
