[Congress is reviewing the agreement and has the option to cancel America’s commitments under the deal.]

You were asking, Kaslin?

Is this not true? Have not Boehner and McConnell been spineless on most things?

I admit I don’t actually know this part of the process. But Jim and I were FReeping about this days ago.

Anyone?

The one thing I have heard in recent months regardless of the noisemaking by GOP Establishment operatives including John Bolton on Fox News were the comments of one of Mitch McConnell’s cronies.

He just happens to be chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee.

Corker told Fox News one Sunday he thought a ‘better agreement’ was needed with Iran.

I don’t think there will be much of a different reaction from the GOP in the end on this issue than on other issues like Obamacare and Amnesty.

There will a lot of drama and noise, objection and wedge issue diversion creation for 2016, but no meaningful roadblock to the implementation of this meaningless agreement with Iran.

The Republican will whine, dramatize and spend millions advertising how bad they think the agreement is to get you to vote RINO in 2016, but take no action against.

I hope someone does, namely Israel. But there’s a part of me that smells business as usual politics there, too.

Then we can all find a reason to massively resist our own government from committing evil acts of retaliation against Israel.

It's a bit complicated but basically our GOP controlled Senate gave away its' power to stop this deal. Does that sound familiar? TPA anyone? So 34 Yes votes in the Senate and the deal goes thru. Now under normal order a treaty requires 67 Yes votes. So the process is upside down. But even worse, the president holds the Senate in such utter contempt that he had already taken the deal to the UN for approval. Doing his best Julius Caesar imitation he just skipped right over the US Senate! So it matters not what the Senate does. The deal is a done deal.

The next president can cancel the deal but he damage has already be done. Closing the barn doors after the horses are out will have little effect on Iran.
