Justin Amash of Michigan. If the House and Senate vote against authorizing war next week, the efforts by these two guys will have been instrumental. Indeed, their outspoken, principled pushback is part of the reason that President Barack Obama—the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner—hasn’t already pursued some sort of strike ‘just muscular enough not to get mocked‘ by the world while not inciting retaliation by Bashar al-Assad’s allies, Russia and Iran.”
