Mark Levin today: "The US Senate just rewrote the treaty provision of the Constitution. . . The Treaty provision, must have 2/3 approval of the Senators present concur . . They usurp the Constitution all the time. . . This crucial power should not belong to one man, the President. . . Unless Congress rejects it with 60 votes, Obama can lift the sanctions and will need 67 votes to overturn a presidential veto. . we have 54 Republicans in the Senate. . . the Senate has capitulated. . this Senate deal, explicitly says you need 67 votes to override a Presidential veto, to undo what Obama has done, . . they're in it together. . . Why are we in this at all? . . We are entering into an arrangement with a terrorist regime. . All this does it give cover for the Congress. . . It's made it impossible for the Senate to stop Obama" . . They just gave up their Treaty Power. . This is extremely dangerous."

We'll never get 60 votes to stop him, and overcome a filibuster, then Obama veto and then can never get 67 Senate votes to overcome a veto, so Obama has a complete green light to write whatever he wants. Now that they have this, I'm betting Obama will tweak it even more and say he made some minor changes.

What would the Founders say knowing the current POTUS is writing whatever he wants and it becomes a Treaty?

From the Right Scoop:

"Mark Levin exposes the treachery in the US Senate today, who he says just capitulated completely to Obama by gutting their own constitutional duty to approve treaties, giving it solely to Obama. So in short, Obama can make a treaty with the Islamo-Nazis in Iran without submitting it to the Senate and the Senate can only stop it if they can get enough nays to vote against it."

Now Iran can get Nukes, ICBMs and Russia is delivering S-300 defense systems this year. Thanks Obama and Senate.

Is it time for a revolution?

There is only one explanation available to me as I search for a reason or rationale for the incredibly flaccid, inept Republican “leadership” in the face of Obama’s tyranny. The answer is that we are dealing with Demonic power. The Book of Ephesians speaks of powers, principalities, and spiritual wickedness in high places. That is what I believe we are facing. Most Republicans have not turned to God for answers, and hence they are powerless to fight, much less thwart this Evil.
