Obama just made a quiet nuclear deal with China

Unbelievable, I'm no foreign relations expert but I'd say this is a bad move.

Thoughts?

Quote:
The deal would allow Beijing to buy more U.S.-designed reactors and pursue a facility or the technology to reprocess plutonium from spent fuel. China would also be able to buy reactor coolant technology that experts say could be adapted to make its submarines quieter and harder to detect.

The formal notice initially didn't draw any headlines. Its unheralded release on April 21 reflected the administration's anxiety that it might alarm members of Congress and nonproliferation experts who fear China's growing naval power — and the possibility of nuclear technology falling into the hands of third parties with nefarious intentions.

Now, however, Congress is turning its attention to the agreement. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to hear from five Obama officials in a closed-door meeting Monday to weigh the commercial, political and security implications of extending the accord. The private session will permit discussion of a classified addendum from the director of national intelligence analyzing China's nuclear export control system and what Obama's notification called its "interactions with other countries of proliferation concern."

If nothing classified were being discussed, this meeting should be broadcast on C-SPAN to expose these dunces and the Chief Dunce (or is that Kerry?) for what they are.

I don't understand how anyone can rationalize anything that comes out of the White House without some review by congress and/or SCOTUS. When did the Balance of Power become meaningless? Does SCOTUS need to wait for someone else to bring a lawsuit? Are they incapable of filing a suit on behalf of existing laws and/or the constitution?
