Brilliant! Now the battle is getting McConnell off his knees long enough to implement it.

Something tells me that the whole Corker fiasco and the obvious RINO reluctance to fight hard on this issue has to do with banks and/or other special interests who are champing at the bit to do business with Iran.

There are also other ways of doing damage to the deal if not stopping it. The Michigan and Oklahoma Attorneys general are calling on states to impose their own sanctions on Iran. (while relying on a 2008 Ted Cruz supreme court win to do so)

It is going to be fun watching McConnell and Boehner try to wriggle out of this.

And if they release billions in funds to Khamenei, they risk billions in civil (and possibly even criminal) liability once President Obama leaves office. Having spent years advising major corporations in private practice, I can tell you that their general counsels will likely tell them their legal exposure is real,

This is true. In fact, I am not sure that, for example, victims of Iranian terrorist actions financed by the released money would have to wait to sue until Obama is out of office.

If you do business with Iran, there should be consequences.
