Monday morning’s decision by the United Nations and the European Union to endorse the Iran nuclear deal was significant for the way it sets them on a path to end all previously-imposed UN and EU resolutions banning and sanctioning Iran’s nuclear activities. It’s equally significant for the way it isolates Congress. Whatever we do now will have little affect given that sanctions don’t work if the majority of countries don’t participate in them. The economic walls that were erected over the last ten year around Iran came tumbling down on Monday...which makes what the President has set in motion most significant - and the words of Prime Minister Netanyahu in describing the deal as “a mistake of historic proportions” that much more poignant.

Regardless of limited affect, I still do not believe the Congress should codify this deal, and so I have joined with 174 other members of Congress in co-sponsoring Rep. Peter Roskam’s Resolution. It expresses Congress’s disapproval of this proposal, and in this vein I’ve attached an article by Charles Krauthammer that offers some more reasons on why this agreement is such a bad idea.
