Congress Must Reject the Iran Deal
TIME ^ | July 30, 2015 | Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Ron DeSantis

Posted on 07/30/2015 4:41:07 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Over the last several months the Obama Administration has consistently maintained that no deal with Iran is better than a bad deal, but we now know this claim — as with many claims made throughout these negotiations — was merely political spin. The deal announced by the Obama Administration last week provides Iran with $150 billion in unfrozen assets with which to fund terrorism, puts our national security at risk, and does little to stop Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon. For these reasons and others we believe that Congress must reject this deal.

President Obama promised that a deal with Iran would “make our world safer”, but it’s difficult to believe that giving the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism more money contributes anything to our safety.

Over the next 60 days, Congress must work to share the fatal flaws of the nuclear deal with the American people. Congress then must reassert its constitutional obligation to evaluate international agreements, vote on the deal, and stand strong in our duty to defend the United States’ national security.

We must forcefully reject this fatally flawed nuclear deal with Iran. The world is watching, and hoping, for the United States to step up once again.

Thanks to the Corker bill that Congress has already passed, they can’t, for all practical purposes, stop the Iran deal.
They have already abdicated their power.
Any rejection will be vetoed and they will not be able to override.
Instead of 67 needed to ratify a treaty, Congress and Obama set this up to require 67 to reject it.

Take a lot of burning up communication lines to beat what’s probably in those FBI and NSA files.

If this deal goes through, the GOP will be pining for the fiords, pushing daisies, paying casket rent.

That isn’t going to help. They passed legislation that will allow 34 Democrats give the green light for this treaty. And these two clowns fingerprints are all over the Republican capitulation.
