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

LOL...I see they've got a @ "[citation needed]" at the end of that sentence.
The State Dept. link at 115 says pretty much the same thing.

The United States considers many of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties to constitute customary international law on the law of treaties. That page also says this... There are 111 state parties that have ratified the convention,[7] and 15 states have signed but have not ratified the convention. These countries are: Afghanistan, Bolivia, Cambodia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, Pakistan, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Zambia. Even Wikipedia refutes Morris.

He better make it a damned good one and people better have the knowledge necessary to expose that stunt for what it is.
