Political reasons. they are afraid new information could hurt them in the next election. theyre being intimidated by trumpit thugs peddling the big lie. what can democrats do in response? glad you asked. here are three options. first, if republicans really want to filibuster a bipartisan commission to death, make them really filibuster it. out loud. on the senate floor. this idea floated by journalist jonathan alter makes sense. with a majority vote they could force republicans to defend the ind...

Honest intellectual debate in this country, not just the right and the left, but even within the democratic party, there was a robust debate. there was a full-throated lobbying effort on the part of the obama administration, the secretary of energy was one of the top folks asked to lobby for the iran deal. the vice president was deployed. but this is different. this seems to be concern not about decertifying, which is not the same thing as ripping up the iran deal which is what the president pro...
