John Kerry admits the potential US/Iran nuclear deal will be non-binding

 A couple of days ago John Kerry admitted that the deal the President is seeking with Iran over nuclear policy will be non-binding. Here is more:

Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today that the nuclear-weapons agreement the Obama administration is trying to negotiate with Iran–where the Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is supreme leader and commander in chief–will be an agreement “between leaders of a country” and will not be a “legally binding plan.”

  I find that admission to be very interesting in light of the heat some Republicans have been taking from the left for sending an open letter to the leaders of Iran.

  If you have read the letter these Republicans sent to the leaders of Iran, which has been deemed mostly true by Politifact, you will find that this is exactly what the Republicans were saying–and nothing more. You can read the letter in its entirety here.

  So, in effect, John Kerry agrees with the Republicans that this deal will be nothing more than an Executive Action which can be rescinded or changed at any time by future (or current) regimes and yet he does not seem to be taking the same flack as Republicans who are now being called traitors by some on the left.

  For the record: I think the Republicans made a mistake by sending this letter to Iran and I  think it will come back to haunt them because the mainstream media will use it against them as “proof” they are only interested in undermining Barack Obama. They should have waited to see what was in the deal before they opposed it.

  Having said that; the Constitution, in Article III Section 3, clearly and narrowly defines what constitutes treason: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

  Under this definition it is quite clear to me, despite the clamor from the left, that these Senators are not levying war against the individual States and neither are they offering aid and comfort to the enemies, in fact it is quite the opposite, and therefor there is not even a smidgen of treason here. 

  But of course this will not stop the left, many of whom have probably never read the Constitution and do not know what it deems as traitorous, from claiming otherwise. And how many of those on the left who do understand this will put John Kerry in the same category as the Republicans who signed this letter for basically admitting that he agrees with, whether he wants to admit it or not, that what was in this letter is true?
