Iran deal: 34 in the Senate, or 41 to not let a no vote happen?

[libpride_15]

Everyone's saying 34 will stop a no vote on the historic Iran deal to uphold a veto. First things first - after the obvious - Republicans will all vote against, they'll need 60 to get it out of the Senate.

Stop it there, and maybe a veto won't be necessary.

So Schumer, among others really need their arms twisted to hold 41 votes.

But I'm of the opinion that even given the worst, overridden in both Houses, Obama should then defy Congress, with US sanctions the only ones left, and hope Iran still holds up their end of the deal.

We don't trade much with Iran anyway, and UN sanctions are gone now, let's not kid ourselves.

Let Lindsey Graham sing "Give War a Chance" and realize it's an executive agreement, not a treaty, repeat not a treaty.

1. Fuck these transparent warmongers

Call them out for the war-loving, murdering scum that they are. How many of them supported the Iraq War?

2. If congress is stupid enough, and that includes some democrats, to bring this deal down by

making it "veto" proof the President doesn't have to do anything. The sanctions will go away from the others that were party to the deal, and if the U.S. continues the sanctions, they will be ineffective, and baring the U.S. invading Iran, they can turn blue in the face

However, I don't believe they will be able to override a veto, and this will be a moot point

3. Pretty good month of Obama opening up a can of whoopass on the other side

No wonder he conjured up JFK memories with his press conference

4. My opinion

I do not know if this is a good deal for this country
