Americans Want Treason Charges For 47 Republicans Who Threatened Iran

My understanding is that it was an open letter and never sent to anyone. Seems like there is a big difference.

It was/is an open letter to whomsoever will read it concerning our emperor's new clothes (along with his new pen and his new phone).

You are misinformed. It was not an open letter to everyone. The first sentence is, "An Open Letter to the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

It was not an open letter to everyone. Some senators who signed the letter has said it would have been better if it had simply said it was an open letter.

CTB,

Was it sent to the leadership of Iran? No. It was open to be read by everyone, much like this post is addressed to you.

What you are saying is that Cotton lied in the first sentence of his letter. Interesting observation on your part.

The key word is "sent".

The first sentence in the letter:
"It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system. "

Explain where the lie that you speak of appears in it.

I think that it was sent/addressed to Iran.

However, Biden is guilty of the same sort of activity.

"The essence of the treaty power," Biden concluded, "is that the president and the Senate are partners in the process by which the United States enters into, and adheres to, international obligations."

Back then, Senator Biden was taking a victory lap for having convinced the Senate to limit its approval of President Reagan's treaty with the Soviet Union on Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces, by attaching a "condition" that would require the executive branch to defer to the Senate's interpretation of the treaty's terms.

But the condition—which, with characteristic modesty, Biden called "the Biden Condition"—did even more than that. As Senator Biden put it in 1989, the Senate's move did nothing less than "repudiate decisively" the Reagan administration's theory of the president's diplomatic authority under the Constitution.

SENATOR OBAMA’S 2008 MESSAGE TO IRAN UNDERMINES CONDEMNATION OF GOP LETTER


President Obama set his Vice Presidential attack dog on the forty-seven GOP senators who dared send their March 9th letter to Iran’s leadership warning them any deal signed with Team Obama may be short-lived when a new president comes to office.

But Biden, like his boss, fails to do his homework before making outlandish statements or else chooses conveniently to overlook the facts.

Livid over the GOP letter, Biden proclaimed: “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which Senators wrote directly to advise another country.”

SNIP

in 2008, a Democratic senator sent a personal emissary to Tehran encouraging the mullahs not to sign an agreement with the outgoing Bush Administration as negotiations would take on a much friendlier tone following President Bush’s departure from office.

That senator was a presidential candidate at the time. His name was Barack Obama.

All right , Crabby, treason charges for Obama?

 

[church mouse guy]

So Biden and Obama both are guilty of meddling with foreign powers when their party lacked the White House. And Kerry shook hands with the pedophile Ortega in Nicaragua.

It was never sent.

The Cotton Letter Was Not Sent Anywhere, Especially Not To Iran

Before U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and 46 of his GOP colleagues are frog-marched to the gallows and hanged for treason, one vital point of confusion must be cleared up. Say what you will about the Republicans’ open letter “to the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” The Cotton/GOP letter regarding Tehran’s atom-bomb talks with Obama was not sent to the ayatollahs. Had Cotton & Co. actually delivered their communiqué to Iran’s mullahs — perhaps via a Swiss diplomatic pouch or something even more cloak and dagger — their critics would be on less swampy ground in calling them “traitors,” as the New York Daily News screamed.

(...)

Despite this hyperventilation, the Cotton Club did not send its letter anywhere — particularly not Tehran.

Okay! So it is not like Teddy Kennedy who sent a letter privately to the Russians during the Reagan administration in an attempt to get Russian support for the Democrats in 1984.

Umm yes. But this takes us right back to the rule of law question that keeps getting asked where both sides only want to enforce the law when it's politically advantageous to their cause.

Hillary's email account.
The 47 Senators treasonous actions.
Obama's treasonous actions.
Congressmen/women breaking the laws they set.

It all gets talked about. But nobody enforces the law because both sides are doing the exact same thing.

It's political theater for the American people.

Actually, none of those actions are treason. The constitution sets a high bar for treason and they don't even come close.

The only people I am aware of who have met that bar are Jane Fonda and John Kerry. There's one other , but his name escapes me right now.

They are borderline treasonous then.I'm just tired of both sides talking about the other side breaking the law because they NEVER enforce it and each side only makes an issue when their guy isn't guilty.

Then you wait a year or two, and the side accusing the other is found doing the same thing.

They all make me sick.

Wonder what would happen if we did away with political parties?

Jane Fonda and John Kerry would still be traitors.
