Really I am with you. How in the name of hell can can the senate be bound by an unconstitutional law they passed?

Cruz voted for it too.

That's really damning.

Stupid on steroids. That's the bone headed "leadership" of the GOP.

Not Stupid, complicit until we recognize that nothing will change for the better.

CZAR B.O. (Goebbels of the Democrap Party) is merely implementing the essence of the Democrap Party! That is, the destruction of the United States of America.

"Since when is a treaty subject to a 1/3 or less approval?"

You can thank the GOPe in the Senate for that. Bob Corker in particular. This way, via the Corker Amendment the GOP can pound their chests and make fiery speeches knowingly full well The One will get his way. I am beginning to hate the R's in the Senate.

It does not matter where the senate stands on this. Once the UN passes it, the sanctions are gonzo from Europe, China, Russia etc. and the whole thing is over.

The deal with Iran was, in fact, pre-ordained by the Republicans who passed the Corker bill, including co-sponsor Lindsey Graham, who only this morning was disingenuously complaining about how outrageous the Iran deal was.

When you give a Muslim sympathizer pre-ratification to make any deal he wants with a terrorist sponsor state, you forfeit your credibility as a conservative and an American.

EVERY Senator that voted for this and is running for President is not fit to be President and should withdraw.

They cannot be trusted. EVERY one of them.

They knew EXACTLY what Obama would do. Now they pretend to be surprised by what Obama did.

Psychopaths - the whole lot of them. Including Ted Cruz.

We have ensured a nuclear arms race and likely nuclear war in the Middle East. The Republicans pre-approved it.

I envision Israel will initiate a scorched earth blitzkrieg soon. That is an easier task than dealing with our enemy controlled government.
