Why Does Interpol Need Immunity from American Law?

"actually by the Constitution IT IS A 2/3’S vote ... that would be 66."

It is 66. I don't know what I'm thinking. I think I'm still hungover from Christmas Eve.

No problem.

actually, 67. A vote of 66-34 would be less than 2/3, and a treaty would fail.

As to Interpol, it seems to me the question is, in major part, does it have personnel operating in the US of which we should be more afraid than those who work for the International Halibut Commission or, possibly, Monaco (or the USSR). McCarthy says one thing (and he is often quite good), and others say not -- at this stage , I vote -- Dunno. I do know that it wasn't interpol that finally got Milosevic and Karadic or the Rwandans -- it was military forces.
