Does it cover smuggling arms through f’d up criminal investigations?

From another thread, reposted here:

“Getting it Through the Congress is another thing.”

Either they won’t try, or they’ll wait until the Senate is empty, then follow the constitution:

“He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”

Note the lack of mention of a quorum in the Constitution.

As long as 2/3 of the senators present vote yes. So if four are present and three vote yes...

I thought the President had to sign?

Kerry can’t do it alone. It will have to be ratified....

Sign away pal. It’s not going to matter.

Treaties not only do not “trump” the Constitution, they don’t trump State Constitution’s either. This was what was spelled out as the understanding of the states before the Constitution was ratified. What’s more it was this understanding that the states had that convinced them to actually ratify the Constitution.

If there was ever any question about the intentions of every single one of those domestic enemies masked as democrats, let this set that aside.
If this does not motivate people to come out and vote to defeat every last stinking one of those filthy US hating miserable communists, and NWO liberals masking themselves as Republicans, I don’t know if anything can.

This is like signing a petition....Calling it an enforceable treaty is absurd.

Kerry: Always the one to so quickly surrender or flee from reality.

Benedict Arnold is laughing in his grave, while Alger Hiss is thinking (from hell), “we’ve got one”.

This is great news. We need to push a non-ratification vote in the Senate to put vulnerable Dems into a bind.

It just keeps getting better for us. Proverbs 16:18 is coming to pass. We need to avoid hubris and win our ground game.
