Democrats trying to keep support for Iran deal off the record

Moe Lane:
...
And that’s important not because the Democrats are having second thoughts about the Iran deal, although they really should be. It’s important because the Democratic party is probably quite keen to be in a position where they can effectively pretend that they’re not in favor of the Iran deal, if necessary. There’s a saying in one of the social clubs that I belong to: Non scriptus, non est. Which basically means “If it’s not written down, it didn’t happen.” A resolution that puts the Democratic party officially on the side of the President could end up being a profoundly embarrassing resolution indeed; replacing it with a more informal letter showing personal support by DNC members would be safer.
...
They know this deal is opposed by the majority of votes and they do not want such a  vote in support of it to be used in ads against them.  That is also why Obama is conspiring with Harry Reid to try to filibuster a resolution of disapproval of the deal.  They are truly the party of deceit and deception.

This NY Post Editorial gets it right:
The obscene drive to avoid any Senate vote on the Iran deal
They are desperate to hide their unpopular support for a bad deal.
