People ignore that Obama didn't need treaty approval or legislative action to lift sanctions. The sanctions as they were enacted included waiver authority for the President.

People who blame the Corker bill don't understand that Obama could legally have lifted sanctions even in the absence of the bill. It was a marginal improvement over no bill at all.

They did not just lift the sanctions. They gave Iran billions of dollars and pledged to defend Iran against Israel.

The Corker Bill gave Obama the political cover of working with the Senate and not acting unilaterally.

The Corker Bill was far worse than no bill at all.

What was this “marginal improvement” that you speak of?

0b0la lifts the sanctions on his own, over the sure objections of congress, who can then batter him with it when things go south, like they are.

Or, for reasons yet to be clear, he somehow manages to get a Republican congress to sign off on this deal, to approve lifting the sanctions in return for what, exactly?

There is no length too far for you to go in your never ending justification and support for Ted Cruz and his voting record.

Why your allegiance to this man is so unwavering is a complete mystery to many people here.
