“The UN gun treaty is up for review and ratification.”

The UN treaty needs 2/3’s of the the Senators present to pass. A filibuster will not apply.

That means only 34 Senators are needed for ratification, genius. That's why a filibuster matters.

Someone please explain to me how a UN treaty trumps the US constitution no matterr how many senators vote for it and the president signs it. Changing the constitution requiires a 2/3 vote of the states AND a 2/3 vote of congress.
