We should probably all call or email his office to express our gratitude. A pat on the back can go a long way.

“Bob Corker of Tennessee had a different concern. He “waved the banner of tradition,” a lobbyist said.”

LOL! I guess Corker is certainly a man of Senate ‘tradition’, even using a LOBBYIST as his spokesman.

This will IMO be McConnell’s finest hour.

Sadly, if this is indeed McConnell's "finest hour," and not a harbinger of better things to come, then he should rest on his laurels and begin the process of grooming his successor.

McConnell should treat this as his legacy and now step aside for the next generation of Republican leadership.

Yes, I'd like to know what tradition banner Corker was waving when he overturned the treaty power in the Senate, something that's actually IN the Constitution?

In fact, I’d be very happy to see some of them ask McCain, Graham, and Rubio to dial it back a bit. It would be nice if they could go back right of the Clintons at the very least.

While I was typing what I did, don’t think this didn’t occur to me. I don’t believe in giving a guy kudos and asking him to resign in the same message.

On the same thread is a stretch too, but since you brought it up. I’ll address it in a positive manner.

He sure could go out at a moment where he looked his best, if he left right now.
