It’s A Constitutional Perversion --Bogus Bi-partisanship

The Corker Bill Isn’t A Victory

By Andrew C. McCarthy, Apr. 18, 2015, NationalReview.com

As the Framers knew, we are unlikely to outgrow human nature. So what happens when we decide we’ve outgrown a Constitution designed to protect us from human nature’s foibles?

The question arises, yet again, thanks to Senator Bob Corker. The Tennessee Republican, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, is author — along with Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) and Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) — of a ballyhooed bipartisan bill that is being touted as the derailment of President Obama’s plan to trample congressional prerogatives en route to a calamitous “deal” that will facilitate jihadist Iran’s nuclear-weapons ambitions. (I use scare-quotes because the so-called deal is still a work in regress.) 

So guess who now supports this stalwart congressional resistance to our imperial president? Why none other than . . . yes . . . Barack Obama!

    I think McCarthy's comparison is wrong. He compares the Corker bill to Treaty ratification and how it reverses the burden of passage. The threat was that the deal would go straight to the United Nations and never be a treaty before the Senate in any shape or form.
