ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — On Wednesday, President Obama proposed for Congress's consideration an authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) against the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). The jihadists are already being fought -- albeit not nearly vigorously enough -- under existing AUMFs. So Obama's proposal, which would gratuitously repeal one of the prior AUMFs, is unnecessary.
