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.

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

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.

I hope that 34 figure is meant as 34+. I expect the dems to slavishly follow their dear reader, but I don’t like the idea 13 GOP Senators were willing to sign away our sovereignty.

I sent Johnny Isakson a no chit email Thursday and got a bunch of other people to do it on the same day. The guy is a total RINO. You cannot trust him to ever vote the right way. I’m glad to see he finally put his finger in the wind.

Assuming a quorum of 51, treaty ratification only requires 34 Senators present.

The Constitution requires two-thirds of the Senate — 67 votes — to ratify a treaty; Portman and Ayotte bring the number of opponents to 34 along with Sens. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. BTW, this is a flat out lie, disinformation at its finest.
