Netanyahu: we caught Iran red-handed!

It’s interesting to me that a lot of #NeverTrump types have taken to defending Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran deal by saying that Obama should have made it a treaty. Evidently, they don’t want to try to defend the action on its merits (because it doesn’t have much in the way of merits).

Among other flaws in that process argument, there is the little problem that the Bush Administration successfully got the Supreme Court to recognize Article II power to abrogate non-self-executing treaties. So Trump could have done the same thing regardless of whether this was ratified as a treaty.

I’ve seen that too - “It’s Obama’s fault that Trump pulled out of the deal because it wasn’t a treaty!”

:rolleyes:
