> “Did he vote “Yes” along with McConnell?
If so, then it is indeed correct to say that Mr. Cruz joined with Mr. McConnell.”
They have entirely different motive and intent; their motive and intent are by no means “joined”.
> “So why give your consent to a “done deal” it you’re against it?
That is, after all, what a “Yes” vote is: consent.”
I’ve already written several times why it is of benefit to vote YES on the Bill.
1. It allows the member to work on the Review and cause maximum delay to completing the Review. And as long as the Bill is under review, Obama cannot move forward with his Iran deal.
2. It gives the member access to the secret Iran Deal plan. Obama has been keeping the details secret. The facts known about the deal are from Iranian media and informants inside Tehran.
3. It gives the member credibility when the member campaigns against the Iran Deal issue because they will be able to say they have seen the details directly.
All the above benefits do not by any means imply consent.
Where is your commentary on McConnell? Is he a paragon of virtue in your world? Why are you not focused on him?
Perhaps, perhaps not — the fact is that both voted YES
to ignoring the Constitution's sue process regarding the adoption of treaties.
In light of that, I find myself disinterested in motive and intent — everyone there swore to uphold and defend the Constitution and everyone there, with the exception of Mr. Cotton, failed it with their assent of this.

And why should a senator be barred from further proceedings if he voted NAY
?

I covered him in November and December — ultimately I view him (and Boehner) as proof that the vote the lesser of two evils
crowd is full of shit: there was little chance that he (or Boehner) would have been better than a brand-new Democrat, but they won their districts despite this... and now the rest of us have been privileged to be pissed on by them and being told it's rain.
Besides that, nobody's pushing the idea that McConnel is a good guy and our hope for restoring the republic.
