The New York Daily News’ Tuesday cover took a highly critical stance against senators who requested the White House in a letter turn away from its nuclear deal with Iran, slapping up pictures of Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and others above a large-font, all-caps, front-page headline: “TRAITORS.”
The accompanying story was an editorial that was titled, “Un-patriot games as Senate Republicans undermine President Obama on Iran.”
Editors slammed the 47 Republicans who pointed out via letter that President Obama ought to consider the Constitution and its caveat to obtain the consent of the Senate when forging foreign agreements, and said that while the nuclear talks might be marred by “fecklessness,” that’s still no excuse for bad congressional behavior.
Specifically, the editorial called out the senators for “treachery” and accused them of “sending a letter to the mullahs aimed at cutting the legs out from under America’s commander-in-chief.”
It went on to say the pact as forged was not worthy of signing, “but we strenuously condemn their betrayal of the U.S. constitutional system. The participants represented the bulk of the Republicans’ 54-member senatorial majority, vesting their petulant, condescending stunt with the coloration of an institutional foreign policy statement. They are an embarrassment to the Senate and to the nation. … Rather than offer objections domestically in robust debate, as is their obligation, ringleader Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and his band trespassed on presidential turf by patronizing Iran’s leaders with the suggested ‘that you may not fully understand our constitutional system.’”
New York Daily News editors said “the plain intent was to sabotage Obama” and “horrendously, every member of the Republican Senate leadership signed the letter, as did GOP presidential contenders Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

CRUZ or LOSE!So. Where was this newspaper when Teddy Kennedy flew to Russia and made an agreement with them back in the Reagan/Bush era?
Shows you who they fear.
They are not traitors. But I think it was grandstanding.
So the agreement is a piece of crap, but the republicans are traitors for saying for saying so.
Considering the source, that’s a badge of honor for both of them.
I have no taste for Rand, but Ted is my boy!
Yes, Congress has no business commenting on US foreign policy, that's the POTUS turf.
You dont see Obama going over congress's heads with executive orders,because liberals like the NYC Daily News would chastise him for doing so, because they respect the constitution.
And yet, these same maggots will go totally ape sh*t if you dare call one of their commie DemocRAT massas a traitor. It’s weird.
Mine too! No, he’s not perfect, but he’s so what we need/want in our wounded country.
Dems are masters of projection.
Seemed like an immature reaction to Obama threatening to act with his pen and his phone and ignore Congress.
These Republicans have abdicated their responsibility to defend this Constitution from Obama and his cronies.
They allow an individual to B put in charge of the Justice dept. Who admits in confirmation hearings,that she is going to continue to enforce illegal aliens getting social security cards,work permits and thousands of dollars in earned income tax credits!
So these idiots who announced this letter to Iran,have stepped on Obama’s constitutional authority to conduct foreign policy,as retarded and anti American as it is.
These Congress people are good at whining,what they are not good at is showing they have any gonads in using their authority
Or when Pelosi went to meet with Assad in 2007.
This is a bad idea by Republicans. Congress should not be involved in foreign affairs except for what the Constitution provides (ratifying treaties and so forth). Foreign affairs is the purview of the Executive - even if we don’t like it.
When the White House is occupied by a drug-addled racist who hates America, undermining his efforts to legitimize Iran’s nuclear weapons program is a good thing. The only treason in our country today comes from those who support Barack Hussein Obama.
Screw him. All bets are off with this fool in the White House.
Yes, we consider this Cruz fellow a traitor. You can quote me on that. And you will.
