The problem is that per senate rules a treaty can be voted on in the Senate with as few as three senators voting (so you can get a 2/3 vote) and one presiding. It can be done with a voice vote.

Also remember, L.O.S.T. They should vote on it's ratification in 2-3 weeks. Some of our leaders want to throw our country away with both hands.

Bottom line is we probably have no idea what "treaties" were "considered" and confirmed by the Senate...

Did you know that we signed over 460 treaties last year, give or take a couple of treaties. Bush is pushing for 35 treaties and I can't for the life of me find out what they are. But they're very important to him.

No, I didn't know that and it sure doesn't sit well. LOST is particularly upsetting.

I think if they try to enforce some of the worst ones--such as UN taking actual control over things as opposed to simply putting up signs on OUR national parks--they'll be in for a terrible surprise.

They were shocked at the reaction to Shamnesty and that was restricted to words written, spoken and electronic--but still just words. I sure hope they don't force us beyond words.
