About the appropriations, and democrats been saying and over again it doesnt have any of their players and then come to block them until they get some kind of negotiation. Why not take him up on that offer and what is the downside of talking with the white house and the democrats on the bill . Just my perspective, as you see the numbers i recited moving through the Appropriations Committee with the Ranking Member and other members, we debated a lot in our markups that are fully flushed a summary difficult issues, and i think we stayed within a budget. We stayed with the numbers we all agreed on and so i think we can have a discussion the lets have it on the floor of the United States senate. I think its a place the best place to have it. One of those budget areas where we did not gain bipartisan support as we moved that subcommittee through the process, but it was not because there was not great work going on between myself and my Ranking Member on that subcommittee. So when you sugges
Attorney, maybe i do not suffer the tragedy of knowledge that this is more complicated than it seems. We seem to be in violent agreement. We have a 67page opinion.

What is not helpful is rhetoric the president has been using comparing republicans in congress over the iran nuclear agreement, to those in tehran dealing death to america. My view of this issue is, rather than this kind of christ political rhetoric, we should treat this with the dignity it deserves. What i have sent in the senate is it we are going to handle this debate in the following way. We will try to reach an agreement to have a specified amount of time to talk about it. Im going to ask every senator to be at their desk actually listening to what others are saying. Each senator will get an opportunity to speak and actually be listened to by other senators. This is an extraordinarily important issue for our country not only now, but in the future. Remember, the president will be gone in a year and a half, and the rest of us will be living with the consequences of this extraordinary agreement, which certainly has transformed the middle east. It certainly has. We are now entering i
They could have been negotiated with. Here is what the groups on the ground tell us is actually happening in malaysia. In a press release, any upgrade of this juncture would be a hollow victory.

David abramowitz of the alliance against slavery and trafficking said recent press reports recommend kerry take a principled stand by concluding the government of malaysia is making significant efforts, it is simply not sustainable. I could go on of the universe that has a different view. I have questions about cuba and i hope there will be a second round. Sen. Corker i have no objection to you continuing. I want to move to india. Thin
Are influential members but they have one vote. Since the speech, with gotten potentially more votes in support of the deal. That is an indication of how persuasive the president s speech was in the case he is making some members of congress and the American Public. The number one democrat in this and it and again [indiscernible] are they classified as objection is . President took on directly in his speech is that the individuals who are advocating for the defeat of this agreement are the same people who made the same argument in 2003 and the march to war against iraq. This includes people like Mitch Mcconnell and john boehner and john mccain and recent newcomers like tom cotton and dump truck. That is dump truck. The group of people supporting the agreements are people like the president of the United States opposed the iraq war from civicginning or who had knowledge the congressional vote in support of that march to war was a mistake. And i mentioned to some of their names already.
