We’ve come to expect from Bob Menendez what we saw on Sunday’s edition of This Week, Save Jerseyans, coming as the Obama Administration prepares to give Iran a clear path to an atomic weapon in the next decade:

“So the question is, even President Obama said that under this potential deal, in 12, 13 years, they will have a pathway towards a nuclear bomb should they choose to do so,” explained Menendez when pressed by ABC host and former Clinton flunky George Stephanopoulos. “And how this deal structures our ability to make sure that if that’s the best deal you’re going to get, what type of verification inspection regime, is it still going to be any time, any place for the International Atomic Energy Administration, what type of sanctions relief are we giving? And at the end of the day, I hope that notwithstanding a deal, that the president makes a very clear statement to Iran that as it relates to the future, we cannot accept Iran having a nuclear weapon period. That’s the premise we started on. That’s the premise we should finish on.”
Menendez’s corrupt trial date is preliminarily on track for mid-October but a flurry of anticipated dismissal motions from his defense team is likely to push it into 2016.

It’s a sorry day when I find myself rooting for Menendez…
