No, the way Hatch revised the bill was to ensure that it took a full 60 votes to disapprove of the treaty, rather than a simple majority of 51 votes to approve it, making it almost impossible to stop Obama on this thing.

I find it astounding that so many are now sticking your heads in the sand because Cruz is backing it. Good grief! Wake up!
