Stupid Republican senators…

Well…have been up since 4:30 and thought I’d get at this one since I’m already bored…if you haven’t heard or read yet, there is a group of 47 repub senators who have sent a letter to the leaders of Iran trying to derail the nuclear negotiations by saying that any agreement has to be ratified by the senate and would only be in effect until Obama leaves office…both statements are wrong and were pointed out by, of all people, the Iranian foreign minister who dismissed the letter as having “no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy” and he goes on to say that he is astonished that members of the US congress find it appropriate to write to leaders of another country against their own president and administration….as am I. The smackdown continues int he rest of the letter where the foreign minister goes on to say “It seems that the authors not only do not understand international law, but are not fully cognizant of the nuances of their own Constitution when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy.” Now, I find is just so rich that we have an Iranian foreign minister that has a better grasp of the executive branch power in foreign policy than these idiot senators…and that he understands, where the repubs don’t that changing administrations doesn’t remove the international obligations and that removing the agreement would be a violation of international law. But, one thing we do know from the torture fiasco is that repubs don’t really care about or understand international law…they are just a bunch of idiots…geez…
