    47 Republican Senators overstepped their Constitutional bounds and attempted to interfere in international negotiations regarding the Iran nuclear issue.

    At the very least they should be censured. At the very most they should suffer the consequences of the Logan Act.

    Many things that the Democrats do anger me, but I think its even more important to call out our own side. This is a huge overreach and I'm actually stunned that anyone thought this was a good idea.

    Me too.

    <They're just itching to go to war with Iran.>

    I think most are just looking to diss Obama, but some probably are itching for war.

    It's like they haven't paid attention to the last 12 years. And they give all this weight to Netanyahu, a guy who has been saying that Iran is a year away from a nuclear bomb for the last 20 years, and who said that our invading Iraq would greatly stabilize the region.

    Of course, exactly the opposite happened.

    I'm hoping these little stunts backfire on both Bibi and on the jerks who signed this letter. Some are from reliably safe red states... but others might get a nasty surprise come 2016 or even 2018 (though Americans' memories don't seem to last that long).

    The inevitable petition to file treason charges against the Senators.
