Dick Morris was on, forecasting the rest of the political year. He forecast a Dem loss of both the White House and the Senate, followed by blood-letting. According to Morris, a lame duck Obama will pass every imaginable communist treaty he can before he leaves office. Banning guns, sea treaty, banning all fossil fuel power plants, etc., a real nightmare vision. But the Constitution requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate to ratify a treaty. Where would Obama get 67 votes to ratify such insane treaties? I would have thought Morris would know this.
Executive order
Didn’t hear, but perhaps he means they will try....maybe picking off a few idiotic pubbies on various issues.
0bummer plans to do it by executive order. He will dare anyone to do anything about it. He’s already started.
Lame-duck republicans like Olympia Snowe, Richard Lugar and (hopefully) Orrin Hatch will help him. They love this crap.
Treaties are not permanent. The president can abrogate a treaty, though I doubt Romney would have to stones to do it.
Whatever he does needs to be counter-ordered by the next executive immediately. He is in the slave business just as were his ancestors.

Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott is lobbying for the Senate to ratify a treaty that would undermine American sovereignty and damage the country economically – incidentally, characterizations that Lott himself has advanced. During his time in the Senate, Lott vehemently opposed the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, also known as the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), saying it would create a “U.N. on steroids” that “would undermine U.S. military operations … and impair navigational rights” by subjecting maritime disputes to U.N. .......
That 60 in the Senate is not out of the question....
I think he is a closet Freeper reading my post...
He will try to do as much damage as he can so the next congress will have to spent an inordinate amount of time repairing damage instead of solving our economic problems.
What if, once he is out of office they address the constitutional elligibility issue hanging over Obama? What if they find his presidency unconstitutional? Does that mean everything he has done is undone? I’m just curious. I don’t really much about this scenario, I was just doing a little wishful thinking this morning over coffee.
What are they using to extort/blackmail Lott?
Another Turncoat.
Lott is one of the liberal handmaidens. He played conservative when he was minority whip. When he became majority whip and then leader, he sold conservatives down the river.
Cannot happen. While they have 60, they don’t have 67.

How did this gay Clinton supporter become a Republican?
He won’t be able to get any treaty past the Senate, but people are going to be outraged by his clemency pardons.
anything the commie usurper can do, he will do.
Yes if Dick said that he was wrong....but he was CORRECT in assuming Obama will be VERY DANGEROUS between November 6, 2012 and January 20, 2013.
I expect him to pardon terrorists, give away military secrets to our enemies, and open the border floodgates.
