OK now you’re gruff lol

Seriously, it was never ratified by the US, BUT some other nations that didn’t ratify STILL consider it binding... makes me fear what Obama may attempt, that’s what Morris is saying

I dunno if Wikipedia is any more trustworthy than Morris, but it says “Some countries that have not ratified the Convention recognize it as a restatement of customary law and binding upon them as such”

Sounds like an opening for Dear Leader to pull some stunt, that’s all I’m saying- and if he felt constrained by the US Constitution, that would pretty much be a first
