Why all this constant harping in the media about ONE Democrat vote, Chuck Schumer. Unless he can bring at least 12 other "Rats along with him, assuming all 54 Senate Republicans vote to override a prospective Obama veto, Schumer's vote isn't going to make a dime worth of difference. Is Schumer so powerful that he can get 12 fellow Democrats to override an Obama veto, even assuming that he zealously wants to kill the Iran deal? Anyone who thinks he has THAT amount of clout among his 'Rat colleagues - as compared to Obama - is barking up the wrong tree.
The refusal of the Senate to submit the Iran agreement to the conventional two-thirds ratification vote required by the Constitution (in which it surely would be defeated) is clearly putting the US, the Middle East, and the entire world in grave danger from Iranian nuclear power, regardless of Schumer's vote.
Liberals would have supported Hitler in my opinion. Evil is as evil does.
12 isn’t many given that the deamons always stick together bought and pay for by King o himself

Schumer is next in line to become the ‘RAT leader in the Senate when Reid steps down. He is powerful, and other ‘RATS will follow his lead on votes.
That said, I agree w/ you that this is a treaty, not an “executive agreement,” and the RINO-controlled Congress abdicated its Constitutional responsibility to insist on a 2/3 ratification vote in the Senate. And the House has failed to impeach Obama for his many high crimes & misdemeanors; he’s more lawless than Clinton, Nixon, or any other POTUS in US history.
If Upchuck came out and said, "I can't vote for it," he'd carry along a bunch of others. The fact that he's not going to vote for it, but isn't coming right out and saying so, is his way of having his cake and eating it too. Thanks justiceseeker93.
