Pollutico doing its part to send a message to Schmuckie to save the RAT party.
...for the glory of communism?
We must remember the lessons of Clintonian triangulation.
Schemer may be strident and angrily against this until the last moment, when he will suddenly see the light, or recognize some previously unspoken nuance, and thus come around to Obama’s way.
If this scenario comes to pass, make no mistake: There is no change on Schumer’s part, and no arm twisting from Obama. This was always the way it was meant to play out.
Then it will be ok for all Democrats to fall in line.
Not saying it’s going to happen this way, but be ready for it.
1) Ask the chair to rule whether the agreement, and how Obama has presented it, fits the standards set forth in the Corker bill or is instead really a Treaty requiring 2/3 of Senators but none of the House.
2) If Biden holds the chair and rules "Corker, not Treaty" or if some GOPe holds it and is willing to so rule, then appeal that ruling to the Senate as a whole. If 51 vote the agreement is really a treaty (a 50-50 tie would be broken against us by Biden) then they should next move for an immediate vote on this Treaty and vote it down. At that point you have Obama saying its an executive agreement and the Senate saying its a treaty GIven that ratifying Treaties is purely a Senate power and that former Senator Dungheap (D-IAI) got then Chief Justice Renhquist to rule during Clinton's impeachment "trial" that the Senate was solely responsible for its own procedures we should be able to win, or at least long delay the dispute in the courts. Burn Obama's clock, not ours. The only question is whether enough enough RINOs and allegedly pro-Isreal Rats would go along to reach 51 votes. At worst it better delineates their true status, a Cruzian technique. At best the GOPe would recognize it as a way to let Corker save face, pretending the now excessively unpopular agreement was not what he'd envisioned originally.
