Being that he's a backstabbing traitor it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Secretary of State John Kerry spent five minutes of a Senate hearing excoriating a group of 47 Republicans who sent a highly unusual letter to the government of Iran warning that Congress could modify the terms of any nuclear deal it negotiates with the White House.
'This letter raises questions of judgment and policy,' he insisted, before Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker cut him off and scolded him for delivering 'a well-written speech.'
'It's not a speech! This is not a speech!' Kerry erupted. 'This is a statement about the impact of this irresponsible letter. The letter does not have legal authority, and I think you have to ask what people are trying to accomplish.'
Kerry later staked out a position that lawmakers have no standing to change any nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran because it won't be 'legally binding' in the first place.
'We've been clear from the beginning: We're not negotiating a, quote, "legally binding" plan,' Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
'We're negotiating a plan that will have in it the capacity for enforcement. We don't even have diplomatic relations with Iran right now.'
He blamed Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton and 46 other GOP senators for signing a letter on Monday that 'ignores more than two centuries of precedent in the conduct of American foreign policy.'

Then what the hell good is it?.................................
Yea, well, John eff’n Kerry is not a Secretary of State of any note, more like a Nevel Chamberlain.
What a jackass!
Now, that is truly scary, bested only by the thought of Gore or Biden being there.
Seeing John-boy in Congress always brings to my mind the swimming pool scene in “Caddie Shack”.
Senator Corker should have pointed out that Kerry himself has a history of undermining US foreign policy and asked about his meetings with the North Vietnamese while we were at war.
I enjoyed the video!
I hope the hearing is on C-SPAN tonight.
it is a jobs effort
it provides jobs for political hacks otherwise worthless, on both sides
“No controlling legal authority.....”
Being that he's a backstabbing traitor it wouldn't surprise me if he did.
FUJK!!!
Is John Hanoi Kerry going to give himself another Purple Heart for blowing up?

Why isn’t this rich incompetent, the traitor kerry, home with his alcoholic wife drinking heavily?
He’s mad (just as Obama is) because the GOP Senators cut the ground out from under them, in these negotiations! ... :-) ...
John F’ing Kerry...in the tradition of Genghis Kahn blowed up real good!
Corker, who did not sign it.
He said “he never heard of anyone doing anything like this.” By implication, he means anything as bad as that. How about meeting with the enemy as a known propaganda move, designed to cause America to lose a war where 50,000 Americans were killed?
I see nothing in black and white in the Constitution that gives the president authority to negotiate the foreign policy of the United States. With the Senate he makes treaties. With the Senate he appoints ambassadors. With the Senate he appoints department heads.
Does anyone see anything else?
