Is the real question.... Well are you?

The bill has 13 Democratic co-sponsors and when you add that to the 45 Republican Senators, you're already at 58. It only takes 67 to override a veto.

Did you read the Bill?
Look at the line

The Government of ______ denies its people fundamental freedoms, including freedom of the
press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of conscience.

That line could apply to Saudi Arabia, Israel in some degree and any other fucked up country.

It undermines President Obama's efforts with Iran and supports Republican goals

Here's the bill
