File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Two names for the Dems to consider:
Ted Kennedy, Yuri Andropov.

I've got others but that should do. (I know it won't, but, what the heck)

#2 I guess he doesn't know about the Democrat senators visiting Ortega when Reagan was president and has forgotten Pelosi visiting Assad after Bush asked her not to.

#3 Zero is more annoying than an ingrown toe nail, and about as painful. What will the US population do when they find out that his whole life has been fabricated and influenced by foreign interests unfriendly to the USA ?

#4 "the continuation of a partisan strategy to undermine the president's authority."

What authority does El Presidente have to make a binding agreement with any state?

#5 Sounds like all the Republicans did was to state the obvious which is that no way in hell can the Champ get them to ratify his little agreement as a binding and long lasting treaty so, once again, he is attempting to make an end run around them. But it's no surprise that liars like him are uncomfortable with the truth. The only surprise is that these nearly but not quite 50 senators had the guts to tell it like it is.

#7 Sounds like all the Republicans did was to state the obvious which is that no way in hell can the Champ get them to ratify his little agreement as a binding and long lasting treaty so, once again, he is attempting to make an end run around them.

To be more accurate, it's "no way in hell can you call it a treaty, and thus call it 'enforceable', if Congress doesn't sign off on it. And we aren't going to sign off on it unless we know what's in it beforehand - not when it shows up on our desks."

#8 It's dead the day another executive takes office.

Thank Obama for drawing the stark line for any intelligent Trunk (yeah, sort of an oxymoron there) candidate to split the Jewish (and funding) base between the world socialists first and all the rest.

#9 Obama: 'Once I sign the agreement, you can read the agreement' The last time the Congress bought a "pig in the poke," it got us in a lot of trouble which is still on-going (ahem, cough, Obamacare).

#10 It would seem to me that an agreement with a foreign government is, in fact (if not in law) a treaty, and would not be binding without ratification by the Senate. And that treaties are intended to be gnereated with the advice as well as consent of the Senate - and the President is explicitly refusing to incorporate any advice.

#12 Not sure what bothers me more - this statement from a sitting President, or from a former Con Law prof.

#13 Yeah, cuz its a real take me word for it atmosphere going on right now.

I think he studied ConLaw much like a torturer studies anatomy.

#14 It's another type of conlaw. Like the one OGs in prison know.
