One of many extremely unpalatable facts about the embassy move is just how popular the legislation was with both parties, the Dems and the Pubs. The proposed law was adopted by the Senate (93–5),[3] and the House (374–37) after all (thanx Wiki).
Now as to the wisdom of congress dumping that kind of power on future (unknown and unknowable in 1995) presidents, well obviously (but not here for some reason) it doesn't reflect poorly on the presidents, it reflects poorly on our Congress. There was an aborted move in 2011 to repeal it but that bill died. Hard to reconcile the feigned outrage here and elsewhere with the legislative history of how and why the embassy move happened.
As for how the UN vote is categorized, I noted today, with the nays and abstains added together, this is the most pro-Israel vote in decades. Again, more excessively protesting too much is GREATLY in evidence, particularly as to how the vote is described. At least get the basics right, sheesh.
Additionally, as a sovereign country, the US, not the UN gets to decide where our embassies go. That's one of the pesky Government 101 things that for seem reason is still inexplicably cerebrally evanescent is so many minds. And as for congress ceding that power willingly and in perpetuity seems to me to indict of FUCKING congress.
If the blame and outrage is misdirected as badly as it has been this occasion, those stupid sons and daughters of bitches representing us will likely keep fucking up.
Why the fuck would they change how they do business if all of them are re-elected regardless of their Errors ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
