Conservative legal activist Larry Klayman sues President Obama and Congress over Iran deal




---------

Obama, Congress sued over Iran deal

Conservative legal activist Larry Klayman is suing President Obama and members of Congress over a deal on Iran’s nuclear program that he claims flies in the face of the Constitution.

The lawsuit, Klayman says, aims to block both the treaty and the “unconstitutional” law that Congress passed to guarantee a review of the multinational nuclear accord.

The White House and Congress “gave away, abrogated and undermined [Klayman’s] constitutional rights, putting him in danger, including the protections inherent in the Constitution requiring a two-thirds vote to ratify a treaty,” he said in the lawsuit.

All he does is file frivolous suits that serve no purpose other than to harrass Democratic Presidents.

The idea that a private citizen could challenge a discretionary foreign policy decision made by the executive branch is laughable.
