As much as I dislike Reid, Obama, et al, the Republican Senators stepped out of line on this.

I fully support their effort to pass legislation to impose sanctions if Iran is not reasonable and insists on moving forward with a bomb, but writing a letter to a foreign government is way beyond what the Senators should be doing.

Certainly Obama has trespassed mightily on legislative turf, but the Senators are being childish. In addition, this is likely playing into Iran’s and Obama’s hands. When this thing blows up and goes to hell, both sides are going to point to the U.S. Senate and a sizable number of voters will agree with them.

Again, I cannot overstate my distain for Obama and for Reid, but these Senators have chosen to feel good rather than do the right thing.

I like it. It’s some of what we sent Senator Cotton to Washington to do, but it’s going to take a lot more of this sort of thing to rein in Obama.

About time somebody stood up, I’d say.
