Make no mistake. Senator Corker just traded away the Senate’s Constitutional obligation to advise and consent on any treaty. A mere 34 senators could have prevented Obama’s “destroy Israel and the west” granting of nuclear weapons to Iran.
It is a betrayal of the Constitution.
It is a betrayal of Israel.
It is a betrayal of American security.
Corker, if checked, is always a supporter of liberal positions when he is needed. He is a behind the scenes point man pushing for AMNESTY.
I knew what this would turn out to resemble after I heard this was the undependable legislator sponsoring it.
Not the first 'wilt' for Senator Rubio.
Will be interesting to see where Ted Cruz and Rand Paul come down on all this.
None of this 'worse than no bill at all' happened without the advice and consent of the so-called 'majority leader' ......
I agree. As soon as I heard Corker, I thought ‘liberal’. And then it was obvious. The Senate doesn’t need to pass a bill that can be vetoed by the president. The Senate has a constitutional power to advise and consent on any treaty. The threshold for that passage is 2/3rds.
This also explains Schumer’s support, as if he actually went against Obama. This scheme of Corker’s ENABLES Obama.
A purge within the Republican party is required.
I can probably name five politicians these days that I trust...and I wouldn’t turn my back on even those few!
B@stards.
These people know they cannot put up this treaty for approval in the Senate and have it pass.
So, they are rewriting the constitution.
It is open anti-constitutional betrayal by Republicans who think they’re hiding behind this little ‘legislation’ game.
It was unanimously passed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Rand Paul already voted for it.

Is required... and impossible. Only a new party will give us any representation.
Missed that. Thank you.
And you know what we do with traitors...
fund their “sex-change” and put them on Twitter.
Proof that an Antichrist can’t be an Antichrist without some craven venal cowards to enable and empower him.
". . but please, please, please! Don't throw me in that briar patch!"
Yup, those two sentences sum it up... as Mark Levin was describing it last evening, they've turned the Treaty Clause on its head...
Are there enough Senators that understand what is going on here and will vote against it?
Senator Bob Corker, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
.......................
There’s the answer as to why.
This is pure lawlessness. The Treaty Clause is clear...(1) Advise AND (2) Consent
Obama and the Senate work TOGETHER (advise) on this treaty with Iran. Obama can ignore them, but he then has to submit his work to the Senate for CONSENT.
A straight up Consent vote would require only 34 Senators to reject Obama’s treaty.
They have turned it the other way around. It is illegal behavior on their part.
I knew Corker was a traitor. He and his Tennessee twin Lamar! are both communists. So his attempt at weakening US law is not news. What I am having difficulty with is understanding this process.
1. They cannot pass a “law” that trumps a constitutional requirement.
2. How can the Senate pass a “law” without the House also voting on it?
I admit I haven’t paid much attention to this since hearing about Corker’s involvement since I have expected his sudden but inevitable betrayal for some time. I just remember when laws required both the House and Senate to pass them and changing a constitutional specification required a constitutional amendment. If I am misunderstanding this situation I would appreciate any help. I just can’t keep up with all these modern day changes and fabrications.
