What about the knowledge of Obama’s recent history of ignoring any rule, law, or constitutional constraint that gets in his way?

EVERYTHING you say makes perfect sense, BUT I don’t think Morris’ argument -regardless of his personal credibility- should be too easily dismissed... as you yourself noted above.

Any who says ‘Obama can’t do this and he can’t do that’ is missing the point, imho- he will attempt anything he thinks he can possibly get away with!

Constitutional law and treaty technicalities mean little to him... meaning this info don’t do much for his opponents, either. If such knowledge allows one to rest assured “he can’t get away with this”, therein lies the real danger... that’s why I’m focused on vigilance, i.e. loopholes and even the most fringe possibilities of what this megalomaniac/narcissist MAY attempt to do- when his type is desperate, one shouldn’t restrain their imagination if they hope to restrain him

I would imagine that this will become a much more "current event" as more people weigh in during the upcoming days and weeks.

In the mean time this is what is being argued...we're bound to a new treaty by a treaty that has never been ratified by Congress.

The kernels are popping.

And considering that NO ONE in any seat of power seems to have the courage to stand up to Obama. As long as he keeps saying and doing things and no one has courage to stand up and draw a line in the sand (and I mean first, our elected representatives before a regular citizen),then he will keep pushing and pushing and pushing. Things that we couldn’t have dreamed possible four years ago. It doesn’t matter what the treaty laws and conventions are if no one in power is willing to stand up and say YOU CAN’T DO THAT! And declare it null and void.

At least at the time of the founding, we had brave, courageous, outspoken ELECTED representatives who were speaking out and standing up to King George. Where are our principled leaders now? Whether in the Congress, Senate, Military?
