Move ensures landmark Obama victory
WASHINGTON —Maryland Democrat Sen. Barbara Mikulski is 34th senator to support Iran nuke deal, ensuring landmark Obama victory.
Mikulski on Wednesday issued the following statement in support of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action international agreement to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons:
"In accordance with the law, Congress has been reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action for the past 45 days. I have spent countless hours reading, being briefed and pouring over the intelligence. I have diligently worked to make an informed decision, one that weighs risk and considers a future 10, 15, 25 years from now. Without question, this vote is among the most serious I’ve taken. This vote has monumental and enduring consequences.
"Throughout my review of this deal, my questions have been: How does this deal affect the safety and security of the United States? And how does this deal affect the safety, security and viability of Israel?
"For all my time in both the House and Senate, I have been an unabashed and unwavering supporter of Israel. I have persistently supported the sanctions that brought Iran to the table. I have been insistent on foreign aid and military assistance to Israel that maintains its qualitative military edge on missile defense. With the horrors of the Holocaust in mind, I have been deeply committed to the need for a Jewish homeland, the State of Israel, and its inherent ability to defend itself. And for the United States to be an unwavering partner in Israel’s defense. I have been and always will be committed to those principles.

I might be wrong about this, but the HOuse and Senate will vote to veto the Iran agreement. Obama will veto the bill, and the Senate will not be able to over ride it.
Ugly vile whole of Babylon! Barbara, you venomous slut!
34 votes means that the Senate cannot override Obama’s veto.
Without the Corker bill, Obama was going to ignore Congress totally. He wasn’t even going to ask for approval.
WASN’T EVEN GOING TO ASK. JUST PUT THE “THING” (AKA treaty, deal, agreement) into effect.
