Nice piece, but you voted for him Alan.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

We regarded the filibuster as the enemy of democracy and the weapon of choice against civil rights.
I don't agree that the filibuster is an enemy of democracy, though the currently allowed fake ones are. Get up there and talk for a day.
Weapon of choice against civil rights, yes. A Democrat weapon against civil rights. A Democrat weapon against Israel.
He’s a dictator with no love or regard for the US. I HATE him.
We KNOW he would LOVE to see a nuke go off in NYC.
I Never thought I would say that about a US pResident.
Ditto
I’m not suggesting that’s OK, clearly Alan’s assessment of the President was wrong. At least on some issues. But I’m OK with people changing their mind, particularly when accompanied by a coherent argument. Don’t know about Alan, but plenty of people in his position would vote for him again, there being other more important issues than nuclear arms in the hands of terrorists.
Exactly what I thought about Jimmy Stewart in Mr Deeds Goes To Washington. A bigoted filibuster speech about the boys club.
It’s all the better that he voted for him, in a way. He’ll be a convert, and they (we) see most clearly.
He just didn't care. A crammed down back room deal was easier than going through the effort of attempting to persuade the public. Heaven forbid that some lame going through the motions "public debate" was attempted.
Dershowitz: Yet, President Obama and his followers in the senate deployed this undemocratic weapon in order to stifle real debate about the nuclear deal with Iran and to prevent the up or down vote promised by the Corker bill.

Does ANYONE here at FR or any Senator or Congressman or McConnell or Boehner not realize that the Dem threat to filibuster the “up or down vote promised by the Corker bill” guaranteed an Obama victory?
Filibuster was always an option. There was never a doubt that the filibuster threat would be used. There was never ANY POSSIBILITY that the GOP could get the 60 votes to override the Dems and force a vote. And even if they could there is no chance that the votes would be there to override an Obama veto.
Corker is a joke, doomed from the get-go to generate show-votes. In all other regards it was designed to fail.
I’m really tired of this.
you know that Dershowitz has been out front opposing this deal for a while - felt so strongly he even wrote a book outlining his arguments. he’s right on this one and is man enough to take on the prez - which a lot of others failed to do.

The ends justify the means. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet....
Jesus taught that a lot of Jews claiming to be Jews are not Jews.
Applies to pretty much every "accomplishment" from the hussein administration.
Who the hell is Senator “Strom Thurman”?
