On Sunday, New York City’s AM 970 host John Catsimatidis had former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) on his “The Cats Roundtable” program to talk about the Iran nuclear deal. Lieberman started off by ripping the White House for its proposed Iran nuke deal by saying, “First, it’s a deal with somebody we can’t trust. Why? Because they have said for years and continue to say even after the agreement was signed, ‘Death to America.'”

I think Schumer might have a backbone... don’t count him out yet...
Schumer is next in line to become the ‘RAT leader in the Senate when Reid steps down. He is powerful, and other ‘RATS will follow his lead on votes.
That said, I agree w/ you that this is a treaty, not an “executive agreement,” and the RINO-controlled Congress abdicated its Constitutional responsibility to insist on a 2/3 ratification vote in the Senate. And the House has failed to impeach Obama for his many high crimes & misdemeanors; he’s more lawless than Clinton, Nixon, or any other POTUS in US history.
Not a surprise. He’s a Communist before he’s a Jew.
If Upchuck came out and said, "I can't vote for it," he'd carry along a bunch of others. The fact that he's not going to vote for it, but isn't coming right out and saying so, is his way of having his cake and eating it too. Thanks justiceseeker93.
As things stand now, the Senate and House will vote straight up to disapprove the treaty. Obama will then veto that "legislation," which would send it back for a veto override. Even if Schumer decides to vote for a veto override (i.e., against the deal), I would have to disagree with you that enough other Senate 'Rats will follow Schumer's lead. A vote for a veto override would be a vote against both Obama and against HRC. There's just not enough dissidents in high places in that party.
But how "Jewish" (in a support the interests of Israel sense) is he? He really hasn't bucked the pro-Islamist Obama administration line up until now, has he? And Israeli officials aren't too optimistic that he will now.

The question really is, “How AMERICAN is he?”
He could be a sort of hero, if he spoke up now on the importance of trashing this deal that is evil to the core.

On the contrary: It will be dissidents against America who would be insane or profoundly stupid enough to vote with Obama and against the country’s population.
He’s a Communist before he’s an American. Stop trying to make this a Jewish issue. It’s an issue for every man, woman and child on the planet. A nuclear bomb definitely ruins the day for all.
I agree that's at least part of it. But I still don't see Schumer bringing along the required number of Senate Democrats to get a veto override.
'Rats adhere to the party line - with rare exceptions like Lieberman himself, who paid a steep price for his opposition to that line on defense issues. Lieberman was in effect drummed out of the Democratic Party.
Well put.
The problem with being a Democrat first is that the Democrat party has been hijacked by the radical Left and is testing the loyalties of Americans and Jews. How far is Schumer willing to go along Obama's path before even he says "enough, I'm out?"
The problem with being a Republican first is that the Republican party has been hijacked by appeasers who are looking for the easiest way out of any crisis. The radical Left knows this, which is why we have seen a strategy of management by manufactured crisis even since Rahm Emanuel uttered that infamous phrase of never letting a crisis go to waste.
So it's really a confluence of two forces: a party inertia driven by a loyalty to the past that is forcing radical change, and a nonexistent opposition that is afraid of the effort or owning the change.

To headline: I can.
Feckless sluts offer their body. Schumer has already given his soul.
