Imperial Powers

It appears that the Senate Democrats now have the 34 votes needed to block an override of President Obama's vetoing of the Congressional disapproval of his Iran nuclear deal ... see" AP News Story. Senator Barbara Milkulski is retiring and therefore has nothing to lose by throwing Israel to the Iranian wolves. However I do hope that the Republicans still pass this resolution of disapproval and force Obama's hand in this matter. Since 70% of the American people oppose this Iranian nuclear pact, President Obama, once again, is governing against the will of the American people.

Once this legislative sham is completed,  I do hope that the Senate then immediately takes this matter to the Supreme Court saying that this really is a treaty and so requires a 2/3rds vote in the Senate to be ratified. I think that this then could be a clean rebuke of Obama's grasping for imperial powers. But knowing how wimpy Mitch McConnell is, I'm not holding my breath.

UN Inspections in Iran UPDATED

The analogies are obvious. Under heretofore secret codicils, the United Nations will let Iran use its own people to inspect and report on suspected site violations under the proposed Iran nuclear pact that the Obama/Kerry team has negotiated ... and is now trying to sell to Congress ... see: Associated Press Story for the disturbing details.

Although we are now fairly inured to its chicanery, can the Obama administration get even more duplicitous?

Afterward: Here is a link to the original text of the side agreement referred to in the Associated Press article ... Side Agreement. As Scott Johnson of the Powerline blog, who posted this link states, "The side deal shows President Obama and administration officials to be voluble liars on critically important matters inherent in the deal with Iran."
