As Debate Begins, Will Senate Democrats Obstruct Vote on Iran Deal?   Guy Benson | Sep 09, 2015

Today, the United States Senate commences its formal consideration of President Obama's unpopular, concession-laden nuclear deal with Iran's anti-American regime.  The agreement leaves intact and bestows international legitimacy upon the country's rogue nuclear program, furnishes the regime's terrorism-fomenting leaders with tens of billions in sanctions relief, and effectively guarantees that Iran will emerge as a nuclearized state within 10 to 15 years. In a rare move generally reserved for when particularly grave and consequential matters are before the chamber, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has requested that all Senators sit at their desks for the duration of the discussion, via NPR:

McConnell promised that because the Iran deal is such a significant foreign policy issue, he is going to hold the debate in kind of an unusual way. He's asked every senator to be at his or her desk during the entire debate, and every senator will get an opportunity to speak. Now, this is actually really rare. Usually when senators are speaking on the floor, they're talking just to C-SPAN cameras and the chamber's almost completely empty.   READ STORY
