Time to pressure McConnell.
He needs to understand that we’re not screwing around, and that he’s toast if he doesn’t provide all of the opposition possible to stop the Iran deal.
Trump should vow to undermine Mitch’s leadership position if he fails in this effort.

Obama can't do anything about it. Article II Section 2 gives the Senate the power to ratify treaties. Separation of powers gives the Senate in advice and consent the power to declare on its own authority what is and isn't a treaty. That's what "advice" means.

Well, I appreciate your expertise.
But Obama supposedly can’t do a lot of things he’s done.
I think you and I both know that the Republican Congress won’t do anything about the Iran Treaty or any other whim Obama decides is next on his gimme list.
To: Dave346
And if the Senate can’t get the 60 votes to stop the filibuster, what chance do they have at getting the 67 to override the veto?

“This strategy has been working just fine for Reid & Obama”
You left out the most critical part of the Reid & Obama strategy — the Republicans working with Reid & Obama. That is what is making it all possible. Obama’s agenda cannot happen without Republican help. Impossible.

Yawn. If there was a real opposition party who played by the same rules the Dems do, this capitulation would have been nothing more than a passing conversation..
Boy do I ever second that. The GOPE could do exactly what Reid did to the filibuster rules - but NO they are afraid of their own shadow.
The only Republicans getting my vote are at the state, county and city level. What is the point of sending Republicans to the District of Corruption - even when the RATS lose they still win. I would say that Obumbler and his party have been spectacularly successful in the past 7 years of TRANSORMING America - and they are no where near complete.

Perfect time to change the rules .... remember how some scum sucking dog (can you say Reid) did to get His Arrogance’s communists, perverts, and fools appointed.

To top it off the idiot Cotton passed his bill to give the senates oversight away. What a Clymer! Excuse me? Are you confusing Corker and Cotton? Cotton was the only Senator with the stones to oppose the Corker bill. Best you explain this or you're the dirt bag here.

To: Political Junkie Too
Is giving $150,000,000,000 to Iran to FUND its threat to bring “Death to America!” SERIOUS?
Serious enough to “nuke” the Senate’s “filibuster rule” and thereby protect America from Iran’s shiny new nukes?
Over to you, Mitch....

The “opposition party” needs to “go treadmill” on Harry “the Body” Reid.

Yeah, as “Ooopses” go, that one was pretty nasty. :-)

The president is a tyrant. We know it. And the GOPe knows it.
The difference is, they’re on his team.
