* Legislators are readying bills that would force Obama to choose between backing off from his Iran deal and vetoing tough new sanctions

My Comment: It looks like Congress was left out of the loop on these secret negotiations .... and are now responding in kind. On top of everything else .... as more lawmakers and their aides start to read up on the details of this agreement (text of the agreement is here) .... skepticism and doubts are now becoming even more vocal. But even with this opposition .... I have trouble seeing Senate Democrats going against President Obama .... they will protest but nothing will come from it.
