This treaty will NEVER be ratified by the US Senate.

Thank God.

I really hope you are right.

I bet Juan McCain, Lindsgay Graham, Olympia Snowe Job, Saxby Champagne, Dick Luger...would never support...

I REALLY hope you are right.

It only takes 2/3 of the senators “present” to ratify a treaty. President Obama’s brownshirts could probably manage to keep out just enough of them to get the treaty ratified.

It doesn't take long to Google a UN document stating that treaties are considered binding upon signature, NOT RATIFICATION. Frankly, there are so many sources of this that it would take too long to pick out the most definitive.

From but one such UN document (PDF): An Overview of International Law, page 6:

Once a treaty is signed, customary law, as well as the 1969 Vienna Convention, state that a State must not act contrary to the object and purpose of the particular treaty, even if it has not entered into force yet.

That's right, upon "signature," per the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. As to who would enforce it, that would be a United States Government, pursuant to an unconstitutional usurpation of power (similar to any one of hundreds).

If you are thinking of looking for help from the SCOTUS, I wouldn't go there. They've been part of this little scam from the day the Constitution was signed.

I'm thinking the American people need to make our elected servants know....there is a line in the sand.

>Cap and trade.
>Continued devaluation of the dollar.
>Fiscal mismanagement.
>Transferring sensitive missile tech to the commerce dept.
>HR45, bill that would curtail gun ownership in America.
>Continued nationalizing private industries such as healthcare, automotive, energy, financial, insurance.
>Putting our service men and woman in jeopardy.
>Federal move to stymie immigration law enforcement.
>Dragging their feet on securing our national borders.
>Attempting to redefine the institution of marriage.

Do we just sit by and let all this happen? Our America is disappearing before our eyes.

Congress, the white house and the mainstream media ignored the march on Washington. They have downplayed or demonized the teaparties.

Attacked conservative radio and t.v. and brushed aside letter, petition, email, fax campaigns.

I dunno......just sayin.

They have control of Congress. They will pass it right on through.

I admire your faith in the Senate and pray you are correct.
