Only 34? Or are there more? I don’t like it being that close.

So what happens if/when Obama signs this treaty and then enforces it without Senate approval?

When and if the GOP has sufficient control of the Senate, this is one of several treaties that need to be voted down to actually “kill” them. They persist in an undead state until the Dims can figure a way to slip them through otherwise.

Shouldn’t there be at least 49 Senators in opposition?

Once again, “no difference between the two parties,” right? Riiiiight. How many Dems opposed this monstrosity?

What about the “present” factor?
If “present” is the rule, then the public is being misled into thinking there’s no possibility of a treaty to worry about.

Lamar! and Corker are not on the list. What a pity. They must not have seen the part that would force the TVA to remove everything from the rivers in Tennessee so that they can return to a “natural” state.

Or if someone ‘Roberts’ it at the last minute.

You mean Harry Reid can’t “deem” it ratified?

It’s effectively been in effect since 1994..

You’re absolutely right, there is a difference.

From what I can tell, all the Dems and a pretty goodly number of Pubbies are for it. Plus there are a bunch of Vichy Generals and Admirals testifying for the treaty as well.
Traitorous bastards, all of them. Every one of these clucks should be run out of town on a rail.
