Treaties: Damned by What Congress has Done – Damned by What Congress is About to Do

Congress is a disgrace and an ass!

How long will this go on before a strong right-wing benevolent despot takes over. We need a Francisco Franco-type NOW!

[DannyTN]

This just in....Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Giving away it’s treaties approval power is a treason against the United States And especially when the objective is to make sure a sworn enemy openly determined to destroy us gets the nuclear bombs and icbms it needs to do it These congresecritters need a prison cell.

[ClearCase_guy]

Just damn.

[b4its2late]

Total disgrace.

[Paine in the Neck]

...Tennessee’s own Republican Senator Corker, who obviously has his political eye set on a future in the White House.

Like Graham, a small man with a pathologically large ego. He stands no chance of gaining the WH, none, zero.

[Blood of Tyrants]

“Are Corker and friends really that dumb? “

Yes.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He is an embarrassment to Tennessee.

[HomerBohn]

There may be another in America that might just want to save this now pitiful nation.

[Logical me]

With no checks and balances America if finished. King Obama is absolute ruler and if the 2016 election goes Democratic or if King Obama is on a extended martial law grab it will seal the destruction. I have little to no hope America will survive a total dictatorship.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I have no idea why the Senate is so eager to give away its constitutional power to approve treaties. Unless they want a monarchy.

[RitaOK]

I can trust Jeff Sessions. Actually, he would make a good president. He has always been conscientious, wrong only occasionally, and boy has he learned that the middle is no place to be if you want to keep America intact.

Courage is in short supply.

[SMM48]

More like how long will the legal citizens continue to put up with this crap?

What we need is a civil war with the first casualties being the executive and legislative branches of government.

[HomerBohn]

I’ve always liked Senator Sessions.

[jch10]

We marched on Washington in 2009 over less than this!

[HomerBohn]

Small man?

Why this giant was the mayor of Chattanooga.

Another mistake by a party in serious decline.

[faithhopecharity]

It’s a total and complete sellout of American security It’s too weird and insane to be anything short of outright treason for hire $$$$.

[Organic Panic]

Obama won’t have to declare martial law to win the presidency in 2016. No one will stop him. Congress wouldn’t do anything. SCOTUS won’t do anything. Obama and congress have ignored every word of the constitution. Why should he care what it says about 2 terms as president. The only thing to keep Obama out in 2017 and beyond, will be Barak’s huge ego.

[NTHockey]

This bill is a worthless scrap of paper, not even useful as TP. What this bill purports to do is amend the Constitution without the states ratifying it. For all intents and purposes, we have one party dissolving the Union and governing everything.

THAT is called Communism and this is why we needed to elect a “Republican” Congress, so they could finish the job of destroying the country.

[Dalberg-Acton]

This aggravates me to no end. The Senate passes bills in the absence of a quorum, in direct contravention of the US Constitution. I called Bob Dole's office about it years ago and was told that Senate rules supercede the Constitution! From the wikipedia:
The Constitution provides that a majority of the Senate constitutes a quorum to do business. Under the rules and customs of the Senate, a quorum is always assumed to be present unless a quorum call explicitly demonstrates otherwise.
