“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal.”
97 other Senators voted for the Bill, one abstained/not present, one against.
“Without this bill, there is no review,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said during the closing debate, which shut off a bid from younger conservatives to toughen the language even if meant a collapse of support for the oversight. “No bill, no review.”
“Many wish the bill was stronger. I don’t disagree with them, but this is a piece of legislation worthy of our support,” McConnell said Wednesday during a floor speech. “It offers the best chance we have to provide the American people and the Congress they elect with power to weigh in on a vital issue.” (same source)
It’s called the Senate Treaty Provision.
That’s the thing that was turned on its head by this CRAP.
You don’t think I’ve read Cruz’s Bovine Scatology excuse for this treason before?
You think this is the first time I’ve seen it?
Oh, I know, Cruz is going to outsmart the Washington Cartel with his carefully crafted vote this time and every other time, but he hasn’t outsmarted anyone except his idiot apologist supporters.
Everyone who voted for this is a damned traitor.
