House Republicans will move to stop Iran deal vote clock

Cruz pointed out the lawlessness of the whole deal and pointed fingers at those who break their own laws to aid and abet this outlaw "president".

He caused a lot of puckers during his opening speech at yesterday's rally.

Interesting cobweb of actions and reactions.

The Trump effect has shot testosterone into some House Members, manifested with the move to vacate the Speaker chair.

Looks like Boner may be completely out of options to save himself and is throwing a hail mary in order to turn a few back to supporting him ( don't back down guys, at least until this move is successful, if ever ).

Meanwhile, it looks like we will have a substantial segment of the United States Government arguing mightily to make a shady deal with Iran, arming them with cash for their continued pursuit of spinning enough U-235 to detonate a Little Boy in Tel Aviv or Washington D.C. ... and this argument will take place on ... wait for it ... September 11.

Who could possibly make this sh!t up? If this was a Roland Emmerich disaster movie we would probably laugh at it.

Let's see if anybody down there even remembers the date and uses it to pound the leftists' traitorous skulls into bone dust. Someone better be holding up photos of WTC with a mushroom cloud superimposed.

Your post followed a bunch of miserable, unhappy, look at the half empty glass, posts which would depress the most optimistic person.
Thanks for presenting a view that is thoughtful and probably more accurate than many of the preceding gloomy thoughts.
And look at who is calling whom a liberal...just look at the name he uses. Looks like a liberal journalist to me.

I think their strategy backfired, because as they insisted, this is NOT A TREATY. Remember?

It's largely irrelevant whether the deal "goes forward". Congress is irrelevant. The international sanctions are off. The President will proceed as though the US sanctions are off September 18. Perhaps the House will go to court, but liquid Iranian assets in the US will be gone that PM. No other country will honor Congress' legislation. Nor will Iran, who has no intention of honoring the terms of the treaty, sorry agreement, anyway.

Hold an up or down vote so the supporters are on record, there's not much else to do.

Expect Boehner to do an about-face.

How many legs does your mule have, if you call the tail a leg?

[zeugma]

As I'm sure others have said, (haven't read through the comments yet) this is all political theater. One thing I'd like to see the senate republicans do, is force a real filibuster by democrats. Get the cameras rolling to highlight democrats standing up in support of Iran, as opposed to those they represent.

Unconstitutional. This is Treason.

[Jim Noble]

This is Treason

What are you talking about?

1) The House of Representatives voting on a treaty?

2) Corker and Cardin introducing an unconstitutional Bill?

3) "Obama" carrying out the provisions of a treaty that has not been ratified?

[Maris Crane]

Oh I AGREE. Now, let’s convince them.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Never a doubt . Don’t trust them any more than obama.

“”I have doubts Boehner and McConnell have the will to stop this travesty.

Kind of sickening to me, because for a long time I held out hope for these two.

Prayers up for America. May we repent of our sins—starting with me—and turn our hearts toward Jesus.””

I agree about Boehner and Mcconnell and AMEN, may we repent of our sins and turn our hearts back to Jesus!

Announce to Banks that President Cruz will prosecute any bank and banker who violates the Corker law requiring 0bama to submit all side deals to Congress for approval before releasing any of the $100,000,000,000 for terrorists.

Members of the House of Representatives have no Constitutional function to perform here. By “voting” on this treaty, they are claiming powers they do not have.

KABUKI THEATER IS ALL THEY HAVE
