VIDEO: Cotton's Bold Move

April 20, 2015

Thursday  16 April 2015  / Hour 1, Block B: Rich Lowry, National Review, in re: Tom Cotton,, et al., wrote something that had the force of an op-ed and addressed it to the Supreme Leader and his mullahs. A week ago the Democrats castigated Cotton as a traitor; now, with no longer enough votes (67) in the Senate, the president and his Party acquiesced to the Corker-Menendez Bill on the requirement that any international agreement having the force of a treaty be offered to the Senate for approval. Mrs Clinton is taking foreign policy stands very close to Pres Obama's positions. Do we now have two leaders in the Democratic Party? The president's attitude, "Hey, you don't like this? Come and stop me."  Tom Cotton stood up well under pressure; impressive.  Remember When the Cotton Letter Was Going to Drive All Democrats Into the Arms of the White House on Iran? That’s not the way it turned out.  Although the Corker deal basically reverses the threshold for approval of a major treaty from two-thirds to approve to two-thirds to disapprove.
