This morning, when CNN had a moment between their breathless coverage of the Boston bomber trial (9,876,431 words to say "Jury deliberating"
and their hard-on over Rand Paul's entry to the clown car known as the Republican presidential primary, they ran a quick headline that New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer has joined forced with Sen. John "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" McCain to propose legislation allowing Congress to scuttle the fantastically good Iran Deal now in its final stages of being written.
Schumer actually signed on last week as a cosponsor to Tennessee Republican Bob Corker's bill to allow Congress a "review" (read: veto) on any potential nuclear deal with Iran that would involve suspending Congressional sanctions. Corker never signed the infantile letter freshman Republican Tom Cotton and 46 other Republicans wrote to Iran, and now we know why: he was busy writing legislation to give shape to that temper tantrum. He, and apparently Schumer, weren't content with just treason talk, they wanted treason law.
But Schumer chose today - just as the White House is beginning a push for the deal that would put even weapons grade material - let alone a nuclear weapon - out of Iran's hands through stringent verification and monitoring requirements. Notably, Schumer's move comes on the heels of Israeli Prime Minister and fanatical Likud party leader - as well as noted racist - Bibi Netanyahu ripping the deal and lobbying the US Congress.
