Global warming is absolutely a scam intended to:
1) Socialize America further.
2) Transfer wealth from America elsewhere.
3) Reduce our average standard of living.
4) Cripple our industrial production and progress.
5) Give China, Russia and India a pass and chance to compete.
Somehow we must find a way to block this treaty!
In fact, maybe that's exactly what is needed.
I’ve always said, it’s his politics that are going to really hurt the African/American community in the end. He is to the black people, what Jimmy Carter was to Evangelicals, the Christian voters got him in, but in the end, it was Evangelicals who suffered the most with his peddling the ERA doctrine, another amendment we HAD to add to the Constitution, surprisingly we got all just find without it ever being passed.
You are sooooo right!
Clinton signed Kyoto I it never went anywhere. Never even came up for a vote.
The people are the sovereigns in the USA, not the government. The government serves at the consent of the governed. The USA is(was0 a representative republic, with a written Constitution, not a democracy. Venezuela was a democracy.
Going to be tough times for Obama...
Contrary to the article, it would appear that our wise Framers did not intend Treaties to supersede the Constitution. Of course, the five blackrobes on Scotus who believe Nigerian Law should be considered in their deliberations will likely thing otherwise.
While we’re occupied with trying to keep health-care reform from passing- the global leftists are busy bees- the Copenhagen Treaty is ready to assault our constitution and we need to start hollering -it’s due to be signed in December.
Mentioned in the article “With wealth comes a cleaner environment.”
I have been saying this for quite some time. Once they destroy/redistribute the wealth, we will not have enough left over to care about a clean environment. The environmentalists will be puzzled when this happens. They only have to open their eyes to see it in practice.
Yes, I’ve been saying that as well. Thanks for the reminder!
Is there any condensed version of this in English that provides talking points we can use with our Congressional representatives?
Yet another assault on American sovereignty by the leftists at the direction of the anointed one and his 0bamunists. This is completely anti-Constitutional and should NEVER even come up for ratification.
Please notify your Senators and Representative to oppose this treaty in any of its evil forms. We are tired of the socialist left apologizing for every perceived slight on the international stage as if it’s America’s fault.
It’s time to take back the country.

British Lord Stings Senators Rockefeller and Snowe: 'Uphold Free Speech or Resign'
Every day it’s a new one...will this nightmare ever end??? Has anyone mentioned this on Fox or talk radio?
It is a logical impossibility for any treaty to supersede the Constitution. For the same reason it’s a logical impossibility for any Act of Congress to do so.
The US Constitution allows no such thing. The language of Article VI is commonly misinterpreted that way by ignoramuses, but the historical record regarding the original intent is emphatically clear that the Constitution itself is the supreme law of the US, and no lesser law or treaty has the power to circumvent it. Which is in fact the originally intended semantics of the language in Article VI (read very carefully):
“****This Constitution****, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
The Constitution also states that the only way to change it is to officially amend it—and treaties are not, de jure, amendments. ... Read More
Unless it is officially amended, treaties are subject to the same limitation as any Act of Congress: They must a) not violate the restrictions the Constitution places on government action, and b) be justified by an explicit enumerated power granted to the government by the Constitution. The power to make treaties does not grant any power to violate the Constitution itself, any more than the power to make laws does. Laws can be declared Unconstitutional in spite of the language of Article VI—and so can treaties, for the same reasons.
