Thus ends a breathtaking performance of Republican failure theater. Once upon a time, knowing that your party controlled both chambers of Congress would have given you great comfort that a terrible treaty negotiated with a terrorist power could never become law in the United States.
I think this makes it official: I’m on the Trump bandwagon. Hail Caesar.
What’d the GOP get out of all this? What did their huge advantage in the House and their eight-seat majority in the Senate ultimately amount to in terms of concessions? It’s one thing to lose a momentous fight on foreign policy, ceding all of your constitutional leverage in the process, but if you can get some goodies for your side at least you can say it’s not a total loss. Unless I missed something, we got … nothing.
Not a thing — not even, in all likelihood, the right to crow and say that our resolution of disapproval passed the Senate with plenty of Democratic support. This fiasco will end with an essentially party-line vote on cloture, leaving Obama free to argue to the world that the deal has the acquiescence of the U.S.
here’s Dick Cheney wondering why Republicans ever agreed to treat this deal as something less than a treaty in the first place. Oh, by the way: Iran’s hardliners, the same people whom Barack Obama thinks are making “common cause” with Republicans, want you to know that nothing about this agreement has changed their conviction that the United States is indeed “the Great Satan” and that, if anything, they should go ahead and expand the reach of their ballistic missiles because of that.

Mark their names and remember the Traitors of this nation.
So what was held over the heads of the Congress to change the law from being two thirds to pass instead of two thirds to prevent?
Something disturbing happened here.
They should all be in prison, Democrat or Republican.
the GOPE wanted to ensure it passed and did not want the constitutional protections to hinder their personal power.
It’s the Chicago way. Bribery or coercion. Both work.
Yes, extremely disturbing.
This whole thing is an illicit end around the requirements of our Constitution. It’s shameful.
Deja Vu the GWB administration. We gave him TWO TERMS with control of BOTH HOUSES.....and what did HE do with it to seriously fight anti-American activity???
*** NOTHING ZIP NADA ZERO ZILCH ***
Hmmm
I blame the RINOs more than anything. Corker, McConnell etc..worthless POS
Don’t worry, SCOTUS will save us!
Or possibly the Yellowstone super volcano will blow up and annihilate us beforehand. Probably more likely.
I hope the city that Bob Corker lives in will be the first to get hit with an Iranian Nuke and I hope he lives in Washington D.C.
Let the record show Senator Ted Cruz voted for this.
Please someone remind me why we must vote GOP?
Noted.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Iran will never nuke their allies in D.C.
It’s terrible that a minority can destroy the country.
Forget Obama...Republicans made the Iran nukes deal possible
