Letters should be written

Reminding every foreign nation that congressional directives would not be "constitutionally binding" because steps could/would be taken to change them.

As a matter of fact... America is going to retreat to a policy of isolationism, because any decision we make will be reversed.

Iran's foreign minister is having a fun time with the Republican letter today.

He's pointed out that as a sovereign nation, Iran laughs at attempts by Republicans to insinuate their policies are somehow subject to US law.

He also sez Reichfuhrer Bibi must be very desperate to scuttle the peace talks by getting these hayseed Congressmen to do his bidding for him.

Obama reversed a bunch

Where were you when Kennedy axed the Soviets to intervene in the 84 election

Did The Left Scream ‘Treason’ When Jimmy Carter And Jesse Jackson Lobbied Foreign Governments Against U.S. Positions?


Screen Shot 2015-03-10 at 10.38.11 AM

The Left is all in a collective tizzy over Sen. Tom Cotten’s open letter to Iran which advised that any agreement with President Obama is not binding on future administrations unless it had approval by Congress.

Screams of “treason!’ and claims that it violates the Logan Act which states:


“Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

Problem with this? The Logan Act specifically refers to ‘private correspondence’. An open letter on social media advising of the nature of the Constitution hardly seems to qualify.

Unlike Nancy Pelosi’s private meeting with Bashir Assad, as we have previously noted. Or Ted Kennedy asking the Soviet Union to interfere in the 1984 election against Reagan.

Or Jimmy Carter and Jesse Jackson.

Jimmy Carter actually sent private correspondence to the UN, lobbying against the U.S. resolution from the first Bush administrationbefore the UN Security Council, trying to demand Iraq get out of Kuwait. Listen to Brent Scowcroft:


In the midst of this careful diplomacy, former President Jimmy Carter wrote the members of the [UN] Security Council asking them not to support the resolution. He argued that the costs in huiman life and the economic consequences, not to mention the permanent destabilization oif the Middle East, were too high and unnecessary,”unless all peaceful resolution efforts are first exhausted.” He called for the UN to mandate a”good faith” negotiation with the Iraqi leaders to consider their concerns, and to ask the Arabs to try to work out a peaceful solution,”without any restraint on their agenda.” It was an unbelieveable letter, asking the other members of the council to vote against his own country. We found out about it only when one of the recipients sent us a copy. Carter later acknowledged he had sent the letter, but claimed he had told President Bush what he was doing. He did send the President a similar one, but without mentioning he had also lobbied the President’s foreign colleagues. It seemed to me that if there was ever a violation of the Logan Act prohibiting diplomacy by private citizens, this was it. President Bush was furious at this interference in the conduct of his foreign policy and the deliberate attempt to undermine it, but told me just to let it drop. –

During the Reagan Administration, Jesse Jackson almost made seeming violations of the Logan Act a cottage industry, visiting Syria, Cuba and the Sandinistas, with purpose, as Dr. Karin Stanford, professor at Cal-State Northridge noted, at least in part, of promoting their positions in the face of U.S. administration.

At that time, folks on the Left like Stanford argued against the Logan Act. Stanford said it “constrained the citizen diplomat” like Jackson and it was unconstitutional, in her book, “Beyond Boundaries, Reverend Jesse Jackson In International Affairs”. Of course, the fact that she was his mistress might have influenced her opinion.

But once again, just another instance where rules will be over-applied to Republicans, but should be done away with completely when it comes to the Left…

Speaking Of Treason: Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked Soviet Union To Intervene In 1984 Presidential Election To Defeat Reagan…


Kennedy-Brezhnev

Note to Dems: This is what actual treason looks like.

Via The Federalist:


Earlier this week, 47 Republican senators published an open letter informing the leaders of Iran that any nuclear deal with the United States that failed to be approved by the Senate would likely expire in 2017, once President Barack Obama’s term ended. You can read the full letter here.
http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Kennedy-Brezhnev-550x369.jpg
The letter enraged progressives, who immediately began accusing the senators of treason for having the audacity to publish basic constitutional facts about how treaties work. […]

If these progressives want to know what actual treason looks like, they should consult liberal lion Ted Kennedy, who not only allegedly sent secret messages to the Soviets in the midst of the cold war, he also begged them to intervene in a U.S. presidential election in order to unseat President Ronald Reagan. That’s no exaggeration.

According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990′s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit:

… Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”

FLASHBACK: Dem Members Of Congress Opposed To Reagan Wrote “Dear Comandante” Letter To Nicaragua’s Communist Leader…


letter

Via NY Times (4/20/1984):


Members of Congress are always writing ”Dear Colleague” letters to other members, promoting a bill or noting an event. Now 10 Democratic lawmakers have written a ”Dear Comandante” letter that is kicking up a fuss on Capitol Hill.

The letter is addressed to Daniel Ortega Saavedra, the coordinator of the junta that rules Nicaragua. In it, the lawmakers commend his Government ”for taking steps to open up the political process in your country” and urge greater efforts toward freer and more open elections.

‘At Best Unwise’

After the letter came to light in a Congressional debate on Nicaragua last week, Representative Newt Gingrich, Republican of Georgia, flew into a letter-writing frenzy of his own. Mr. Gingrich is circulating the ”Dear Comandante” missive to reporters around town, accompanied by a statement that accuses the authors of undercutting the Administration’s foreign policy.

”This letter,” Mr. Gingrich wrote, ”clearly violates the constitutional separation of powers. It’s at best unwise, and at worst illegal.” Representative Stephen J. Solarz, Democrat of Brooklyn, who helped draft the letter to Mr. Ortega, calls Representative Gingrich’s attack ”frankly ludicrous.”

The whole matter, Mr. Solarz said, has become ”the biggest mountain out of the smallest molehill.”

Indeed, Mr. Solarz said, the ”incredible irony” about the whole incident is that the 10 authors were asked to send the letter by Alphonso Robello, whom the Congressman describes as a leader in one of the paramilitary groups now battling the Sandinista leadership in Managua.

”The whole thrust of the letter is to encourage the Government of Nicaragua to hold free and fair elections,” the Brooklyn Democrat said. ”Presumably, that’s what Newt Gingrich and the Reagan Administration is trying to do themselves.”

The 10 authors include Jim Wright of Texas, the majority leader; Edward P. Boland of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and other senior Democrats in the foreign policy field. The letter tells Mr. Ortega that it was written ”in a spirit of hopefulness and goodwill” and voices regret that relations between Nicaragua and Washington are not better.

The writers stress that they all oppose further money for rebel campaigns against the Sandinista Government. In a veiled reference to the Reagan Administration, the letter says that if the Sandinistas do hold genuine elections, those who are ”supporting violence” against the Nicaraguan leaders would have ”far greater difficulty winning support for their policies than they do today.”

Ever since the U.S. became a country every promise, directive, or treaty has not been constitutionally binding.

So, you're saying that white people are liars who steal from, deceive and kill other races for their own gain, right?

Original thugs. In the historically empirical sense, even.

Huh. Never knew you had it in you to face up to his race's bullshit, Possy!

The white race has proven what their words are worth. Sort of hard to argue with so much history.
People would like to act like this is something new. It isn't.

Every treaty is. Just because no one challenges the breaking of them in court doesn't mean they aren't constitutionally binding.
