Secretary of State John Kerry spent five minutes of a Senate hearing excoriating a group of 47 Republicans who sent a highly unusual letter to the government of Iran warning that Congress could modify the terms of any nuclear deal it negotiates with the White House.
'This letter raises questions of judgment and policy,' he insisted, before Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker cut him off and scolded him for delivering 'a well-written speech.'
'It's not a speech! This is not a speech!' Kerry erupted. 'This is a statement about the impact of this irresponsible letter. The letter does not have legal authority, and I think you have to ask what people are trying to accomplish.'
Kerry later staked out a position that lawmakers have no standing to change any nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran because it won't be 'legally binding' in the first place.
'We've been clear from the beginning: We're not negotiating a, quote, "legally binding" plan,' Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
'We're negotiating a plan that will have in it the capacity for enforcement. We don't even have diplomatic relations with Iran right now.'
He blamed Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton and 46 other GOP senators for signing a letter on Monday that 'ignores more than two centuries of precedent in the conduct of American foreign policy.'

Why isnt this rich incompetent, the traitor kerry, home with his alcoholic wife drinking heavily?
It’s not 5 pm yet...
He should have been shot back in the Vietnam era right after hanoi jane.
Obama also met with al-Maliki before his inauguration while Bush was finalizing the SOFA with Iraq, at which time Obama reminded them that Bush wasn’t going to be in charge in a few months. But THAT wasn’t against precedence??!!?
John Kerry is pretending to be John Kerry, because he doesn’t know any better. Someone needs to give him a part he is better suited for, like a urinal cake.
That’s too bad. Maybe the White Hut should stop going around congress.
This Iran deal must be a real loser for him to snap like this. The Surrender Monkey.
Because if we wish hard enough, they will abide by it anyway.
Unfortunately rainbow unicorn land = the land without respect for laws or Constitutional governance.
It Lurched
Very simple. Iran is cleaning up the mess that Obama and the Progresso’s caused in Iraq. The horrible absolute catastrophe called ISIS. So in exchange for that, Iran is going to be given time to develop its nuclear capability. So it is not meant to be a legal agreement. Just a cover smoke screen for Iran.
kerry should be hanging, along side of hanoi jane, in front of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

His speech was similar to his prior testimony to Congress:
“They told stories that at times Republican Senators had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.”
John Boy just needs his daily peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich from his “man-servant”.
Is this the same guy that tried to usurp the Vietnam peace talks?
Then why is the first anyone has heard this? It sounds like you're admitting that 0bama was trying to sucker the Iranians all along.
It’s 5 O’clock somewhere...
