Coons said he received assurances from the Obama administration about the enforcement and implementation of the agreement before agreeing to support the deal.

He's either a sucker or a liar, orb both.

Guessing this is one of their few choices.

In this strange time we live in, the Saudis might even be able to buy nucs from Israel. Who knows if that is even possible, but the fact that it is even thought about, is weird.

What in the world was McConnell and the GOP thinking when they let this go forward? This is beyond stupid. I can’t believe how utterly and insanely S*T*U*P*I*D Mitch McConnell and the GOP leadership is.

Yes exactly.

All the Senators voted 99-1 for the Corker bill that made Obama’s Iran deal unstoppable. Senator Cotton was the only sane one voting against the Corker bill.

Normally Obama would need 2/3ds approval to pass this but they decided to lower it much lower . So this corker bill is voting yes to the Iran deal. this similar to what the Senators did with TPA giving fast track power to Obama on Obama trade.

Normally Obama would need 2/3ds approval in the Senate to pass this Iran deal but they decided to lower that to 1/3 much lower . So this corker bill is voting yes to the Iran deal. this is similar to what the Senators did with TPA giving fast track power to Obama on Obama trade.

“I certainly understand why Delawareans would ask how I could possibly not oppose this agreement. If it has flaws and weaknesses and foreseeable bad consequences, why not heed the vocal opposition of many of my neighbors and friends and join a majority of my Senate colleagues who will oppose it? The answer to that question isn’t easy, and it’s not one I have come to lightly,” Coons said....

.... he continued, "The answer is $&#* you. That's right, $&#* you. $&#* you and your little pretty houses, $&#* you and your dear daughters, $&#* you and your job and your wife and your life. $&#* you."

The Republican and Democrat Senators all voted for the Corker bill that made Obama’s Iran deal unstoppable. Only 1 voted no : Cotton.

They can ram through the Small Arms Treaty using this method, can’t they?

Anyone who votes for an incumbent is as insane as the politician they vote for.

That puts the agreement one vote short of the number needed to sustain a presidential veto.

I think these bastards are bluffing. I say call them on their bluff. Make them give nukes to Iran.

We need a crystallizing catharsis anyway.

McConnell needs to be run out of town if we are letting Democrats pass treaties with 41 votes.

I, and I believe you did too, told anyone who would listen that Democrat Allison Grimes would have been the better choice. At least we would not be empowering a traitor.

I still cannot fathom why Corker and McConnell passed that bill to ENSURE this would go through months before the agreement was signed. Our government must be totally corrupted by Iranian/Illuminati business interests.

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul voted with McConnell to ENSURE Iran would get its $150 billion back...and a clear road to nukes.
