My goodness, we have a bunch of spoiled angry children in Washington these days....

We're still getting over the dubious decision to invite Netenyahu to speak to Congress and publicly directly attempt to influence American policy (AFAIK we've never allowed a UK prime minister to do this, even during WWII).

And now, Senator Tom Cotton-R AK and 46 other US senators send a letter to Iran, telling them that they will scuttle the deal, so don't bother negotiating. Cotton's suggestion on how to proceed? "Iran should just submit to intrusive searches whenever we want. Anything else and we should be considering a military response".

We're starting to hit the warning track on treason, IMHO. Certainly, we have lost any concept of separation of powers. I do not agree with a lot of the executive overreach by the current president (or his predecessor for that matter), but I agree with this even less. This is dangerous. They're telling the world that the US cannot negotiate in good faith, because partisan politics matter too much to them and they won't honor commitments if they want to make a partisan point.

Thoughts everyone?
