Chuck Schumer Defies White House On Iran
HuffingGluebyTheTonPost via Yahoo News ^ | 4/6/15 | Politico

Posted on 04/06/2015 5:22:30 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, one of Capitol Hill’s most influential voices in the Iran nuclear debate, is strongly endorsing passage of a law opposed by President Barack Obama that would give Congress an avenue to reject the White House-brokered framework unveiled last week.

Ah, I bet Schumer has more dirt on Obama than Obama has on Schumer. But I think creatively all the time.

This answers an earlier post

I believe there is a mutually assured destruction pact between the Chicago Mob and Clinton Crime Family.

Why does congress have to do anything?

All treaties must be approved by 2/3 of the Senate

Yes, it sure looks like the Jewish voters are getting fed up with Jew hatred!

Both the Islamonazis AND their 5th column supporters have gone so far over the limit that it's hard for me to understand how any Jew could support what's going on with Iran, Obie's disrespect of Netanyahu, and so on.

I think there is also a separation of powers issue here. Senators of both parties are jealous of their historical and Constitutional powers to haver a veto over treaties.
So self-interest is the best explanation for Chucky's 'good' behavior.

Menendez is minor league compared to Schmuckie who is very close to Hillary. This is symptomatic of a changing of the guard within the Democrat party. Obama settles a score and wins a battle; but loses the war to the incoming power within his party.

Schubert is not putting Israel ahead of the Democratic Party. He is putting Israel ahead of Obama.

I’m no big fan of Schumer’s but he does have a few moments like these. I can recall immediately following 9/11, he was very much in front of things along with Bush and Giuliani. On the other hand, New York’s other Senator was a very serious disappointment (basically went into hiding if my memory serves me properly).

I ran into an old liberal cow at the dog park Saturday and she disrupted my calm by loudly proclaiming that “That Netanyahu person is trying to torpedo her lord(oops my words, my bad) obama’s deal with Iran”. I pointed out that her fellow Democrats are none too pleased with Lord Foul selling out America to the Ayatollah and she shifted to “Netanyahu just wants to have his war” to which I asked her to please tell me when it was that Israel did anything but respond to attacks, as opposed to Iran and it’s minions launching hundreds of rockets against innocent non combatants? At that point she enhanced my calm by huffing, puffing and leaving. I was back to having a pleasant morning! ; )

While she busy bloviating, I really hope your mongrel dogknotted her standard poodle behind her back. That would have made that morning cup of coffee at the dog park the very best cup of coffee, ever.

Anti-semitism is on the rise world wide. In the US, its roots clearly emenate from the dem party. Obama listened to Rev Wright preaching this message for over 20 years.

She doesn't have the class to own a standard poodle, which is a damn smart animal. She and her silent bob hubby own two little piddly terrier mixes, not that there is anything wrong with Terriers or mixes, but her two dogs together might be 20 pounds and mine is 140, and smarter than her and her dogs put together.

Chuck Schumer’s been in Congress since 1982! US House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999 then US Senate to present—almost 33 years. That’s nothing. Dingell’s been in the House since 1956. With few exceptions, the ones who are doing and have done the most damage to our country have been in Congress between 20 and 60 years.

“Wow! You mean Chuck finally got something right? I hope the rest of the Dems are listening to him.”

Without the Jewish vote, Chuckie is toast. Might be a good time to put more sanctions on Iran and get people on record.

Jews are maybe 10% of New York state vote. Looks likely every Jewish vote there could have flipped to his Republican opponent and he still likely would have won in 2010. He’s up in 2016.

Will he be Menendez'd? No one questions the Fuehrer.

I was hoping he'd get "Reided".
