The problem is they are not following the law.
The problem is that they are all playing for the same f&cking team. Every single thing that comes out of DC is theater. Cruz was either too stupid/naive to understand the ramifications of voting for the Corker bill or he was fully on board with where we ended up today...regardless of what he ‘says’.

Bingo, it would have been a done deal by now.
And there are a lot of ways to do serious damage to this “treaty” if conservatives are smart enough to use them. The Michigan and Oklahoma attorney’s general are calling on other states to impose their own sanctions on Iran (Based on a precedent set by a 2008 Ted Cruz supreme court win) Michigan has had sanctions against Iran since 2013 and it irritates Obama but there really isn’t anything he can do about it.
