They should have passed the letter around the GOP caucus, with each member writing just four words, like we don on the FC board:

True, perhaps with the threat of castration by Joni Ernst concluding it?

In case if anyone is wondering which Republicans DIDN'T sign this:

Lamar Alexander
Dan Coats
Thad Cochran
Susan Collins
Bob Corker
Jeff Flake
Lisa Murkowski

LOL at the Republicans trying to control foreign policy with a letter their Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee won't even sign onto.

Ok, well, it seems that Cotton has been the source of even weirder things from the House.  Apparently others have heard of this, but I didn't before today, so I'm posting it.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/03/11/for-tom-cotton-letter-to-iran-is-anything-but-a-fiasco/

"While in the House in 2013, Cotton introduced an amendment to prosecute the relatives of those who violated sanctions on Iran, saying that his proposed penalties of up to 20 years in prison would 'include a spouse and any relative to the third degree,' including 'parents, children, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, great grandparents, grandkids, great grandkids.' Forget about the fact that the Constitution expressly prohibits 'corruption of blood' penalties — just consider that Cotton wanted to take someone who had violated sanctions and imprison their grandchildren. Needless to say, this deranged piece of legislation was too much even for Republicans to stomach, and it went nowhere."

Dear god.
