That’s right and if there is a special call at 3:00 am to half a dozen anti-gun Senators they’ll vote on the treaty and ratify it before we know what’s happening.

Then there will be blood...

It wouldn’t surprise me if they concurred, but then, I think ALL politicians are carpetbaggers,liars,thieves and tax cheats.

Present.

Key word. Not 2/3 of the Senate, but 2/3 of those present.

Would it be beyond the Obamites to engineer a favorable assemblage before bringing the matter up in the Senate?

With all of the crap they have pulled thus far, you know it would not.
