I have been following this and I do know all that. I guess Ted Cruz does not understand either. What I wrote is what I heard him say in his interview with Sara Palin on OAN. Maybe I heard him wrong, but I don’t believe I did. He said that since Obama has violated the Corker deal the Senate could hold a simple majority vote to repudiate it and take the matter up as a treaty, which is what this really is in the first place. Watch the interview yourself, if you are interested it is on youtube. I don’t think for a second McConnell and company would have the spine to do it but I heard Cruz say he could.
I have been one of Ted Cruz’ longest and biggest supporters on FR. I still contribute to his campaign and I have also registered with Donald Trump’s campaign website.
What Ted is say is ‘theoretically’ true. But reality is different. The reality is Obama’s lawlessness.
What should be done in theory that matches reality is not to vote to repudiate but rather vote requesting the House to draw up Articles of Impeachment. And yes I know that with McConnell and Boehner, such Articles of Impeachment will never happen.
But I said match the ‘theory’ with the reality.
Articles of Impeachment ‘match’ Obama’s lawlessness.
To have the Senate vote to repudiate is Ted thinking out loud about a response that has no impact. Because Obama has already had the deal ratified by the UN. And that means the $$$ is released to the current era’s version of Nazi Germany.
Ted should have called for Obama’s impeachment when Obama decided to go to the UN to have his deal ratified.
OR ... now that I am thinking about it, Ted should introduce legislation that bars a US President from negotiating treaties and deals with the UN without first getting approval from the US Senate or Congress in general.
Now such legislation would again have no impact but it would allow a clear view of who and who does not support Obama’s lawlessness and if by miracle such legislation was taken up and passed, then it would add to a moral argument for impeachment because Obama had promised he would wait for Congress before going to the UN and he broke up his promise. An impeachment could be based on solid ground of failing to observe the Constitutional requirement that 2/3’s of the Senate is required to approve a treaty but it would need to be accompanied by resolutions in both chambers that the Iran Deal is deemed a treaty. But this is all for the purpose of impeachment which will not happen with the current leadership in Congress.
We are talking about setting the stage for impeachment and that will never happen under McConnell/Boehner so this is all just talk and Ted’s suggestion to vote to repudiate is also just talk. I also saw the OAN interview of Sarah Palin with Ted Cruz.
So what we are doing is wasting time. What we should be doing is making sure Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are the ticket for 2016 to the fullest of our abilities.That means fighting the Rove-Bush machine.
Ted will have an Iran Deal protest with Donald Trump coming up. But the Iran Deal is a done deal from Obama’s point of view and Donald Trump said yesterday to the press and to the crowd that no matter what we do, no matter how our Congress votes etc. Iran gets the massive funds for which to create unbridled terrorism and nuclear attacks. Both Ted and Donald said precisely that.
