No veto? Senate Dems might get enough votes to filibuster GOP’s attempt to block Iran deal

The GOP has struck again. Their stupidity and deceitfulness is remarkable. Doesn’t say much for me either, I voted for those damn liars over and over again. Never again. I’m through with them.

Me, too, I just made my decision 6 years ago.

It is beginning to look like Obummer needn’t have worked so hard for a deal. He could have gotten less months ago, and, the Russians and Chinese would not have cared. They would not care if Iran had a nuke today, since, it would be aimed at Israel or the great Satan. Like WWII, Stalin’s spies told him Japan had their eye on another target, he did not have to defend the East and could bring his troops to face the Germans. Why the Russians and Chinese think they are immune from Iranian aggression is a mystery.

Wouldn’t the GOP have been better off in hindsight by standing firm on the two-thirds obligation required by the Treaty Clause and suing Obama if he ignored it and implemented the deal anyway?
Even if they lost the suit, at least Congress’s fingerprints wouldn’t be on the deal, which would make it easier for a GOP successor to declare upon taking office that the agreement has been a matter for the executive branch since day one and therefore he’s fully entitled to dispense with it. As it is, we’re going to end up with a perverse sort of congressional legitimacy being lent to the agreement once Senate Dems shoot it down on a more or less party-line vote. Obama won’t even need to get involved.
Cruz's signature on the scam makes pounding his chest on the anti-Iran deal/Obama is funding terrorists seem pretty hypocritical. Not to mention he's supposed to be some brilliant lawyer on the Constitution...The one he voted null in favor of Obama.

To me this is one of the most serious anti-Israel, anti-American, pro Iranian things he could've done

He has some splain'n to do.

Cruz filibuster - BAD; Obama demand a filibuster - good???

GOP declares Cruz responsible for "shutting down the government to prevent raising debt ceiling (which GOP before 2012 election would never happen on their watch), disaster; Obama demand shutting down the government to allow Iran to get the bomb and GOP is silent?????

What's missing here???

BTW - At Steamboat, CO an event and fundraiser for GOP Ohio Rep. Scott Tipton, Boehner spoke and said he "likes how the Presidential Primary is keeping Cruz out of DC because Cruz is a jackass who keeps trying to tell him how to do his job!"
