Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a resolution disapproving the Iran nuclear deal for a second time, standing firm behind the signature foreign policy initiative of President Obama’s second term.
The Senate voted 56-42 for the Iran resolution, short of the 60 votes needed to move forward.
Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), both candidates for president, didn't vote. Meanwhile, in a repeat of last week, Democratic Sens. Ben Cardin (Md.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Robert Menendez (N.J.) and Charles Schumer (N.Y.) bucked Obama to oppose the Iran agreement.

Good.
There should not be a vote until Obama complies with the Corker bill and releases ALL deals.
42 traitors
let History remember their names in shame
You need to catch up on the facts... The genius GOPe leaders agreed to a setup where if they don’t vote down the agreement, then the agreement goes forward... thus the “block” is how a minority of senators are going to “pass” this agreement.
I’m not saying this is right, or legal or I agree with the way it is being done... but that is what is happening.
So Paul and Linda couldn’t make it to vote? It’s not like they are battling over first place in the polls.
Too bad McConnell doesn’t have the stones Reid has.
I understand the facts perfectly.
They are to vote on a resolution of disapproval.
However Corker’s bill also requires Obama to turn over to congress ALL side deals before the vote on disapproval is taken.
So having the vote creates an appearance that the Senate deems he has fulfilled that requirement.
Ok, tell me again why we gave the republicans two landslide elections? All they do is support Dems and the Dems out legislate them with a MINORITY!
Disgusting. Make them filibuster, bring their Dr. Suess books and stay at it day and night.
OR if Mitch had balls, he’d Nuke em like they’d do him. BUT, this is what he wanted in the first place as he put the Corker legislation in place.
Those guys are traitors.

Boy, I’m sure glad we be holding Congress! GOP IN DA HIZZOUS!
Remember the names. Always remember the names. They have a death wish for America.
Where is a lynch mob when we need one?
