The short answer is Yes. But it will not be easy or simple.
Pressure is enormous and mounting. The resolution to approve the deal will likely be defeated. President Obama will then veto it -- and it now seems likely that opponents will not have enough votes (2/3rds in both House and Senate) to override his veto.
A letter from 23 Nobel Laureate scientists supporting the deal helps. Sen. Chuck Schumer, #3 in the Democratic senate leadership team and a dedicated Israel supporter, just announced that he will vote No or both the resolution and the override.
But Schumer also said that each senator should vote his conscience, meaning he will not use his influence to defeat the resolution. Insiders say that he waited until he knew there were enough votes to sustain the veto before he announced his opposition.
