The 47
By now everyone has heard of the letter written to Iran by 47 Republican U.S. Senators. Their plan, as crafted by Sen. Tom Cotton, was to undermine the nuclear talks between the United States and Iran. Their letter is viewed by some as a violation of the Logan Act. The 47 Republican Senators include Rob Portman of Ohio.
