Almost 65 years ago, the Senate ratified on a voice vote a treaty that Carry_Okie has all the details on, that made such an abomination as the endangered species act, along with all the other GovernMental EnvironMental madness possible!!!

It's a bad law, made possible by a bad treaty that keeps it from being out-right unconstitutional and both the bad law and the bad treaty should be repealed by Senators based on the oath they take as each is sworn in as a Senator to protect and defend our constitution!!!

Your mini rant reminds me of slate article I read earlier today.

Anything less than Pombo's bill is a defeat for everyone that enjoys any kind of freedom.

Unfortunately, the Lords of the Senate are too busy crapping out even more bad laws to pay any attention to this specific law/treaty. As for their oath of office, the Lords respect that even less than they do the Constitution. But try to mess around with their pay & perks, watch out! They can really focus on that.
