If the GOP ever goes along with one of Obama's things I'd seriously think the Apocalypse was upon us.

They've already laid the groundwork for doing so, now all they need are the details of the agreement to begin the attack.

Let 'em attack. They keep over-reaching and damaging their brand.

Once they actually know, they'll just add those details to their rants.

Israel's intelligence minister made another threat today, before the announcement of the framework deal, that they'd attack Iran if they feel threatened. The claim is they'd attack alone, if necessary, but it's all a part of shoring up support for the idea in their allies home countries. Which means the Republican's will be working to further that need here as well.

Iran insists that part of it be the lifting of US sanctions, which Congress has to do since they passed legislation to originally impose them. Seems rather unlikely with a GOP Congress and enough Democrats to almost have a veto proof majority.
