“es. A treaty can be legally ratified with 34 votes out of a quorum of 51 Senators. “

It won’t though. It will take 67 votes and they do not exist.

I understand it takes two-thirds present vote, but can they sign a treaty that nullifies any of the Bill of Rights?

I take it you think a master of parliamentary procedure like Harry Reid can't figure out how to set up a vote against a GOP determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Worse, according to international law the US has been respecting for over forty years, the government is committed to the terms of the treaty from the moment of the signature of any officer, including Kerry.
