The review process under the Corker law never began by the laws own terms.
To undermine President Obamas atrocious Iran deal despite the Republican-controlled Congresss irresponsible Corker legislation, it will be necessary to follow, of all things, the Corker legislation.
On Wednesday, Barbara Mikulski became the 34th Senate Democrat to announce support for the deal, which lends aid and comfort to a regime that continues to call for Death to America. Under the Corker Roadmap to Catastrophe, Mikulskis assent ostensibly puts President Obama over the top. After all, the legislation sponsored by Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) and other Beltway GOP leaders reverses the Constitutions presumptions against international agreements that harm national security. In essence, Corker requires dissenters from the Iran pact to round up a two-thirds supermajority opposition in both congressional chambers (67 senators and 290 House members). If the Constitution were followed, the burden would be on the president to convince either 67 senators to support a treaty, or majorities of both chambers to make the pact legally binding through ordinary legislation.
Mikulskis announcement meant that dissenters would now be able to muster no more than 66 Senate votes against the deal. In fact, they wont get that many. Additional Democrats, such as Cory Booker (N.J.) and Mark Warner (Va.), have dutifully trudged into Obamas camp. (snip)
While maddening, the Corker bill ... would grant Obama grudging congressional endorsement of the deal ... but only if Obama fulfills certain basic terms. Obama has not complied with the most basic one: the mandate that he provide the complete Iran deal for Congresss consideration. Therefore ... the clock has never actually started to run. Congresss obligations under Corker have never been triggered; the Corker process is moot.

(Undocumented Democrat, Arizona):"I promise that we in the GOP and White Mosque have your backs
and will arm you through Benghazi.
And unlike to the American public, we will not lie to YOU!"
Hmmm....... well the possibility exists that Corker and Mitch, knowing Obama never complies with any thing, laid a trap into which the president has stumbled
McConnell laid a trap? Yes, for those who voted for him.
It exists. Is it likely?
But, but, you forget all the taxpayer largesse Sir Mitch has delivered to the great State of Kentucky...or is it a “Commonwealth?”
We’ll see
An attack from the flank is likely to be more successful than the frontal attack that seems impossible from the outset
Quit hoping.
The fix is in and the deal is done.
And our Repulsican limpd*cks will do nothing.
Not now.
Not even if we manage to get a Repulsican president.
The GOP has sealed its doom.
And perhaps that of the country.
Well well well, look who si to the right of mcnasty in the second photot, well if it isnt stevie bengahzi. The present GOP is in bed with the rats and its head rat
IF Andrew is correct and Corker’s intent was to lay a trap, then why isn’t Corker shouting from the rooftops about Obama’s failure to meet his obligations?
I would suggest that it is best to quietly lie in wait rather than scare the prey
The key word: “...lie...!”
RECAP Harry Reid "accidentally" tacked on $4 billion to an appropriations bill that went to holdout Mary Landrieu. She apparently was the designated bag lady to distribute the largesse to buy the votes Obama needed.
WRT to the Iran deal---Obama's got his greedy Muslim eye on the $150 billion to Iran. Muslim Obama is ready to prime the Muslim cash pump.
THE BIG PAYDAY Obama isnt even out of office yet---and already has two foundations (that we know of)
(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.
(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)--- (named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.

during an earlier visit.
The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organizations IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.
As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.
The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abongo Roy Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.
The foundations mission statement is to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond. Its guiding principle is the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesnt seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imams house as well as some proposed latrines, but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance, as the site says.
Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporters passport and govt ID, along with a description of the articles motivation and slant.
Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organizations voicemail and were not returned.
Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

==================================================
GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--deposited in numbered accounts in offshore banks?
Obama's federal giveaways (that we know of).:
<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal
<><> $2 billion to help Malik advance his organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Muslim Kenya.
<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes. Payback is coming due.
<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African countries.
<><> the missing billions attached to Obamacare.
Plz this is all kubuki theatre
It may indeed be Kabuki Theatre by the McConnell troup, but Andy McCarthy is certainly no part of it. He believes this.
The more likely course is an appeal to the Supreme Court by an independent group. But, if successful, that would simply let Justice Kennedy make the decision and we know how that usually goes.
As to Congress I expect not a word.
Ted Cruz may have to carry the ball here. That's his role.
Wow, way to start an optimistic Sunday morning.
Never give up hope, that’s when they’ve finally really won. If the colonists had folded when they saw their odds we wouldn’t even have an America.
Excellent point.
i agree
