But will the House GOP & Senate have the cojones to override the veto? The vote margins say yes, but do they have the spine?

The Iran sanctions are what I have problems with. Iran is complying with the nuclear deal. That part of this bill is not helpful at all.

Another opportunity for the “principled” GOP members of the House to vote on something that they know will be vetoed by the President and/or “lost” in the Senate. Optics over Substance. GOP over Country. Every. Time.
Yep. Lawrence Wilkerson fairly described them as a recipe for utter disaster, essentially a road map to hell.
Ryan was kissing the admin’s ass and working hard to water down the bill Senate had passed. I suspect he wouldn’t have taken it up without Iran attached. For them, the main thing is clearly not about Russia…
Of course.
Any idea who the three Reps were who voted against it? My guess is Rohrabacher was one.
I’d guess Nunes as the other. And I’ll say Farenthold just because he’s such a douche.
It will be interesting to see how the vote goes in the Senate. Trump’s not the most popular guy with those folks. And, it will be interesting to find out if this will be an indicator of how congress will respond if Trump tries to fire Mueller over the Russia investigation.
Three dissenters: GOP Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, John Duncan of Tennessee and Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Even Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), Russia’s staunchest defender on the Hill, revealed hours before the vote that he would support the measure out of support for its penalties against Tehran and Pyongyang.
In other words, either because he doesn’t think it will pass the senate or because he hates other countries more than he likes russia.

Hey, Donnie, you stupid MF. Veto this, and while you’re at it, fire Robert Mueller. PLEASE!!!
Yes, and it’s uncertain how effective they would be, given that they would be unilateral, unlike the multilateral sanctions that led to bringing Iran to the table.
