They were proceeding with the sanctions on, putting them back isn’t really a threat. You can’t actually double or triple sanctions, once you’re not trading with somebody you’re not trading with somebody, you can’t extra not trade with them.
They are both professional politicians. They are after “legacy” of having solved the Iran nukes problem. They are indeed beggars for a Iran nuke deal.
And, Senator Cruz voted for the Coburn Amendment which "fast tracked" the Iran nuke Treaty.
Now, the deal will be presented to Congress and they can vote up or down, 50% +1.
No Amendments. No Filibuster. And no Article II, Section II, Clause 2.
In other words Senator Cruz and 98 other Senators voted down the 67 vote threshold to approve an international Treaty.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between the structure of the Iran deal and the structure of TPA/TPP.
So-called conservatives in the US Senate and House are playing both sides of the same coin.
It's a friggin' disgrace.
