We should take it out and use it for a W-44 armed ASROC test.

How does this effect salvage and fishing? If this is the same crap they tried to pull before it's a deepsea monster with multiple tentiticals sucking out all fun out of boating and adventure on the high seas and the money out of our tax payers.

Biggest RINO supporting this lousy treaty is Senator Richard Luger, chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee

You said it. I live in the Monterey Bay area, CA. Boaters and fishermen here are saying they feel like they need to bring a lawyer with them whenever they go fishing, because the bay is a "sanctuary", and you have to keep track of the number of fish you catch even if you let them go. It goes on and on.

He's the one who wants to put it on the unanimous consent calendar, so there is no recorded vote.

I suspect this to be a PRC plot. They hate the long standing conventions regarding free passage and standard territorial limits, derived initially by the West, and made into a global standard during the late 1800s. If they can shatter the long standing convention, then they can start to make their audacious claims reaching far past their real territorial waters appear to be more reasonable. This must be stopped, or, it will eventually be yet another factor leading us toward world war.

support from the Bush Administration, U.S. Navy officials, environmentalists and oil industry executives

All these groups support the treaty? Is there a specific reason that the US Navy would like to see its ratifiaction? How about both oil executives and environmentalists? These two groups are always at odds with each other. Can somebody provide any insight on this?
