Our armed forces rely on the ability to navigate freely on, over, and under the world’s oceans to protect U.S. security interests worldwide. The convention reinforces U.S. national security by preserving the rights of navigation and overflight across the world's oceans... UNCLOS advances U.S. economic interests by enshrining the right of the United States to explore and develop the living and nonliving resources of the oceans.

We have those rights now. Signing a treaty implies that without the treaty, we wouldn't have those rights. We have them with or without a treaty.

This is just a move by the Liliputians to tie us down, creating a layer of law where no layer of law is needed, and an authority where none is needed.

That's great.
