A Democrat in Louisiana breaks on abortion

As the Democrat candidates for president resist any abortion restrictions, Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana is going out of his way to say he is pro-life.
This is from the AP:
Nearly three decades ago, when Democratic Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’ wife was 20 weeks pregnant with their first child, a doctor discovered their daughter had spina bifida and encouraged an abortion. The Edwardses refused.
Now, daughter Samantha is married and working as a school counselor, and Edwards finds himself an outlier in polarized abortion politics.
“My position hasn’t changed. In eight years in the Legislature, I was a pro-life legislator,” he said. When he ran for governor, his view was the same. 
“I’m as consistent as I can be on that point.”
A pro-life Democrat?
Am I the only one who thinks this guy would make a great V.P. candidate?  Can you imagine a V.P. candidate who can win Louisiana and speak to pro-life conservatives?
Of course, he will never be selected because of identity politics and the Democrats’ irrational commitment to Roe v. Wade.
If V.P. Biden is nominated, then he won’t be allowed to pick Governor Edwards even if that’s their best chance to win.  
Why?  Two white guys can’t happen.
Furthermore, the delegates will never accept a candidate who is pro-life.
What do Democrats like Governor Edwards do in 2020?  Well, they will watch a chaotic Democrat convention and see President Trump re-elected.

Why the Founders put the treaty provision in the Constitution

(My new American Thinker post)
The front pages are full of the partisan back and forth over the Iran nuclear deal. The White House is claiming that the GOP is playing politics, as we see in this report:
Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke asked Earnest at the White House daily press briefing if it would be “instructive if not enlightening” for Rhodes, the president’s deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, to appear before Congress to discuss the Iran deal.
“Ben Rhodes is the person who told the truth about the Iran deal, and it’s Republicans who are either badly misinformed or outright lying about the Iran deal,” Earnest said in response.
The GOP believes that the White House did not explain the deal to the Congress, not an unreasonable conclusion given how the Obama administration passed ObamaCare, executive orders on immigration and others.
It’s not unreasonable to conclude that this is not a “Constitution friendly” administration.
Let’s recall that the deal was rejected by the House and then did not make it to a vote in the U.S. Senate because of the 60-vote bar.
So the U.S. and Iran made a deal without the usual participation of the Congress required by the U.S. Constitution.
It’s easy to blame President Obama and the Democrats. I blame the GOP for lacking the backbone to stand up for the U.S. Constitution.   
None of this partisan back and forth would be around today if we had voted for or against a treaty. My guess is that the Obama administration would have provided more information to get lukewarm votes on both sides.
In the end, a treaty would have passed or not passed. It would have been a better result than this mess that we have now.
Last, but not least, that “60 vote bar” needs to be reconsidered. It has become nothing more than a way for Senators to avoid voting.
