For when Corker is on:

“We’ve heard how Senator Bob Corker has proposed a bill that basically demands Obama abide by the Constitution on this Iranian agreement. However, today we find out that isn’t the case at all. The bill he is pushing will actually make Obama’s power grab easier!

Under the proposed legislation, Congress will review the president’s deal with Iran and can reject it with a 6-vote margin. But Obama can turn around and veto that, which would then require a 67-vote total to overturn his veto. This is completely bass-ackwards to the way the Constitution set things up.

Talk show host, Mark Levin explains “We’ve turned the treaty provision on its head. Instead of requiring two-thirds of the Senators present to approve, this bill explicitly demands 67 votes to STOP the president. You need 67 votes to override a presidential veto to undo what Obama’s done. Now, we need a supermajority to override the president rather than a supermajority where the president needs approval for a treaty.”

Keith Koffler at the White House Dossier blog agrees. “He’s right. Because a treaty requires a two-thirds vote by the Senate to be accepted as law. Corker’s bill turns that on its head, allowing Congress to vote down the treaty with Iran but giving Obama veto power, which must be overridden by a two-thirds vote. Meaning that instead of needing two-thirds of the Senate to approve his treaty, Obama only needs one-third.”

He continued “With the Corker bill, he (Obama) now has Congress in his pocket, as he joins Iran in shredding the Constitution over a Swiss negotiating table. And in ten to fifteen years, when Iran conducts its first nuclear test, Congress will have had a role in the tragedy.”

Another boring round of Sunday news shows, both on the alphabet and cable channels.......this while the world Obama nurtured goes up in flames all around us. Murders, Beheadings, Suicide Bombings, Libyan forced drownings, South African massacre of migrants, iranian hatred of America (Using Obam like the puppet of Muslim terrorists he is), ISIS invades Afghanistan....and all “Muslim” Obama cares about is his golf game and getting Loretta Lynch approved as Attorney General. Add Hillary Clinton (She aided and abetted Obama in destroying the Middle East) to the mix and you have America haters galore!!! Go figure!!!

Good Morning, AB and all.

I like to lurk on the thread, but I wish to solicit opinion on the “deal” that Corker brokered with the WH. My initial opinion was that I was glad that the Congress was pushing back. Then, I heard Mark Levin go ballistic and opine that the deal destroys the Senate’s responsibility to advise and its power to consent (2/3 to ratify.) So, I am willing to rethink.

When the deal is submitted to the Senate for review, should it not be subject to the requirement of being approved by 2/3 of the members present? Obama insists the agreement with Iran is not a treaty.

Why can’t the Senate say, “Oh yes, it IS a treaty.” ?

I’m not paying attention to Hillary as Warren will be the one the commie media and Zer0 will raise as the hero. My only question is when that will occur and how big her funds are compared to the Clinton Arab Foundation fund...I figure with free MSM coverage...Soros and such Warren we do fine.

The shows are ignoring Cruz...good...he must be doing better than we think.

Graham? Sanders? No FOX this morning. I wonder if some other channel will have re-runs of Pee Wee’s Playhouse - more stimulating.

Lindsey Graham would never get my vote, even if Bernie Sanders were running on the Dem ticket. Graham thinks climate change is man made...

Bernie Sanders...senile Socialist Marxist Senator...
Bernie... CEO works longer than the workers... if you ever check the hours work with the pay... CEO per hour wage is about the same.

I just agreed with someone Bernie said ‘American companies should invest in the US’. The sky is falling...I agree with Bernie.

SUMMARY OF FOX “News”

FOX “News” biggest worry is about security breaches
at the perimeter of the White House.
ISIS at the Texan border? Not so much.

Wallace regards Sens. Lindsey Graham, RINO S.C.,
and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. as the important candiates for 2016
to discuss. Using videos,
Bush is introduced as the GOP “leader”, as “middle of the road”.
Rubio is applauded since he supports Common Core (like FOX).
Christie is praised for wanting to be “blunt and direct”.
FOX “News” smirks as it presents that
Rand Paul “blasted the GOP field for criticizing the pRes_ _ent”
and is “mainstream”.
Walker is introduced as an inarticulate candidate with
FOX “News” carefully cherry picking a short segue excerpt
between his two separate points.
Cruz? Cruz is ignored, consistent with Carville’s
claim this weekend that FOX is preparing the path for
proven loser RINO Romney to reenter.

To the Chosen RINO and lib guests:
Yes. Graham wants the White House PROTECTED.
The American people? Not so much;
although he DOES call Islamic terrorism by its name.

Graham indicates he will enter the race after
“he gets the means together” because he is “a problem solver”.

Wallace asks him about raising taxes?
Graham: “I am for Simpson Boles (to close the loopholes)”.
“I am for eliminating deductions.”

To avoid criticism of Obama or Islamic terrorism,
FOX’s Wallace gets him to attack the other GOP candidates
eg. Rubio? Graham: “He will be president some day ... I like (him)”.

To the Chosen RINO and liberal Panel:
On Edmund Hillary Clinton:
RINO Hume: “Hillary is not of the proletariat (he thinks her husband is, though).”
Jackie Kucinich: Hillay has rhetoric (of the poor)
but her (Overseas) donations and excessive (pay for speeches) is problem.

Rove: Rubio “will be strong candidate” and gives good speeches.
Christie” “A Sword of Damaclese is hanging over his head.”
He is not in first tier and faces federal lawsuit.

Rove then lets out of the bag prematurely that FOX “News” will
filter out the conservative candidates for the first GOP debate.

Rove: “There will end up being 15 candidates, there will be confusion”
“The first debate will be in August, and many will be removed,
the flamboyant ones.”

On to Lynch:
Wallace: “Isnt hold up of Lynch racial?”
Juan Williams - Lynch’s holdup “is political not racial”;
She will be confirmed.

RINO Hume: “She will be the Attorney General”

Bottom Line:
1. FOX “News” is preparing to remove conservative candidates
from first Presidential debate, but is working out how to do it.

2. FOX “News” is preparing for Mitt Romney
to reenter the race for 2016.
