Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will try to prevent the Senate from v****g on President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Reid said that Democrats would attempt to use the filibuster to prevent the Senate from holding even a symbolic v**e on the issue, which would likely result in an embarrassing outcome for Democrats. "I recently informed Senator McConnell that after a period of robust debate, Democrats would be happy to proceed straight to a final passage v**e," Reid said in the statement, suggesting "robust debate" was a coy way of saying that the debate will not end unless Republicans can muster 60 v**es to do so.

Under the terms of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act passed earlier this year, the Senate has the option of v****g in favor of the deal, v****g against it or taking no action at all. If the Senate were to v**e against the deal, President Obama would still be able to veto the action. At least 67 v**es would be required to override such a veto.

Presently, Democrats have at least 38 v**es in favor of the deal. Just three — Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Ben Cardin, D-Md., have said they would join Republicans in v****g against it. If Republicans v**e in unison, that means at least 57 senators would v**e against the deal. While that would be short of the 67 required to override a veto, it would be enough to humiliate the administration.

It's a waste of time.
What Congress does will change nothing.
China, France,Germany,Britain and Russia have already given the deal a pass.
We have no control over Iran's already released assets.

I thought that Republicans were in the majority. How does the head of the minority party prevent a v**e?

By "threatening" the Libturds, in the Congress!

{& who knows "what" dirt he has on the moderate/liberal Conservatives, in Congress}......America's current politicians, on both sides {the majority of them}, are impeding America's progress, at solving problems!

This P.O.S. Reid, has done as much harm to America, as "BATH HOUSE BARRY", & his band of miscreant Muslim, "closet homo's"!................................ :thumbdown:
