IMO, Andrew McCarthy is the remaining voice of reason at National Review. I believe his words should be heard!

Today that sorry McConnell STOPPED ALL AMENDMENTS to the Iran sell out. He is WORSE THAN REID!!

[Homer1]

The whole point of the Corker bill was to give them enough slack to mount a faux opposition, knowing that it would pass because they changed the math. They all need to be held accountable...and I’m looking at you Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.

[Arm_Bears]

The Republicans will not do this—The “deal” will pass.

Then, after Iran nukes Tel Aviv, the Republicans will be blamed for allowing the “deal” to pass.

The EXEMPT Undocumented Demoncrats:
"We absolutely support our Moslem King and Caliph
and hate US vets and conservatives with a passion
and gladly launch our IRS attacks on both."

That Corker-Cardin law is a real corker.

All U.S. Senators except Cotton voted for the Corker bill 99-1 : the Corker bill made the Iran deal unstoppable. (Senator Cotton being the lone sane no vote):

All U.S. Senators are responsible for the passing of the Iran deal as the link above shows. Now Iran will be able to nuke U.S. cities like this with suitcase nukes. We have a couple of years left:

I SO fear you are correct.

Boehner and McConnell
are not
men of their word.
Obama is not
a man of his word.
Many will die.

The liars, thieves and perverts in Versailles on the Potomac believe that their oath of office means nothing. Violating an oath is a capital offense. Time it was enforced.

“...and I’m looking at you Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.”

I have challenged Cruz supporters to explain/justify his vote on that monstrosity of a bill. So far, the only explanation they will offer is what a horrible hypocrite Trump is. I am not allowed by site rules to relay my thinking on the politicians who voted for that bill. It is truly beyond human comprehension. We are being governed by fools.

[Democrat_media]

Well said. That is exactly what they did.

Normally, here's how treaties work: the President negotiates a treaty with another country, like the deal he is negotiating with Iran over its nuclear weapons development. Once the treaty is negotiated, it's submitted to the Senate. Two thirds of the Senate has to vote to approve, or ratify, the treaty. If two thirds do not support it, it is not binding.

What a sham our constitution is!

Treaties require a 2/3 approval, and for good reason. However, Cardin, Corker, Lindsey Graham co-sponsor bill that inverts the numbers. How ridiculous this is even possible!

The only thing I can think of is that businesses are interested in making money off the $150 billion that Iran is going to receive. Maybe they are lobbying Congress heavily. Why else would Congress jeopardize the future safety of the country, unless it is short term greed?

The important thing here is that the Chamber of Cronies gets what it paid for!

[VinL]

Ok guys, educate me. You are now the junior senator from Texas. What would you have done?

[TBP]

Why would they do that?

[odawg]

The same as Senator Cotton from Arkansas did. He was the only senator who voted against the Corker bill.

Andrew REALLY hits the nail on the head. Very accurate article.
