Is this the most severe act of treachery ever by Congress?

Now obviously this was a very bad move in terms of PR for the Republican Party and in terms of showing a lack of willingness to do their part at all in terms of reaching across the aisle. This was clearly an atrocious move in more ways than one.

However, do you think this is going to be a major game changer for US politics?

the GOP edges ever closer to a coup. we need a general butler for our times to tell the truth to them.

It has to be up there, it really is a disgusting move by the GOP and this comes after that embarrassing speech by Netanyahu. The warmongers are working over time right now pandering the dumbest of society. Will it change anything? I doubt it. The Democrats won't stand against their president but most are only moderately better on foreign policy if at all than your typical Republican as you can see by the bipartisan turnout Netanyahu got and Obama's precidency, the only thing Republicans and Democrats can agree upon is bowing at the feet of Israel. We seem destined to repeat history over and over again.

to me, the 47 are just a symptom of the ominous fifth column in our country who continue to enthusiastically vote for them.

Eh, screw Iran.

if we had a parliamentary system then that would happen. but we don't.

I think the Iranian response to the letter was excellent.

I do think all those senators should not be allowed to resign..they should be removed from office and charged with the Logan Act. I've read the previous times the Logan act was called upon and I think that only once did the accused person 'fit' the purpose of the act (Jim Wright).

What these senators did however is 100% why the act was put in place. Here you have members of the US gov. actively sabotaging ongoing diplomatic efforts for the sole purpose of benefiting their own interests.

The act says 'fined or imprisoned' ... I favor the imprison part. Money would not matter much to these sock puppets given they get plenty stuffed up their rear end by those that put them in the senate.

the wealthy top-out-of-sight entities whose pockets these 47 traitors are in, would not permit them to fall under these circumstances. nope, no jail or fines or even a handslap for them. if anything, they will be rewarded.

Most of these 47 seem to be affiliated with the Tea Party (TROLL PARTY). The letter is not a show of unity. It is a show of dumbassery. This is the sheit that gets people elected these days. The Tea Party is full of these kinda people who have no ability, or desire to self edit. They proudly proclaim " I say what is on my mind. I don't sugar coat anything. Screw political correctness. I am rebel" (bleh bleh bleh). And there is a constituency that eats this up like it is LSD infused cotton candy. For these yahoo's, the whole agenda is to create an atmosphere where they perceive themselves getting a rise out of someone, pissing someone off, "butt-hurting someone". Like petulant, stubborn adolescents, "look at me, look at me"

I strictly blame the ones who voted for them.

Is it only "treachery" if Republicans do it?

There aren't two parties in this country, there is only one and it is the War Party. Presidents and control of congress may change but they are always the ones in power, most Democrats won't stand up to their president as most Republicans won't either so while 47 Republicans signed on to this look at how many Democrats showed up at to bow at the feet of the Likud Party leader of Israel which the intent was the exact same as this letter. Honestly the Netanyahu invitation to me is even worse.

FWIW, I've never been more disappointed in Rand Paul than I am now. I miss his dad.
