Much easier for them to bash some US Senators than it is to call out the President on LOST.

"67 votes needed. My guess LOST stays dead. "

There's more than one way to skin a cat. See post 18. It can be done as NAFTA was.

- normal treaties require 2/3 vote of the US Senate,

NO THEY DON'T. Treaty ratification requires 2/3 of Senators PRESENT, not 2/3 of the full Senate.

Click here for the history on that sorry state of affairs.

False. It can be done legally with as few as 34, and has been done illegally with a lot fewer than that.

Yeah, I’d expect Reid to try pulling off an underhanded vote if presented the opportunity.

OK, that’s scary. I was just trying to tell Red Steel not to be comfortable with the 2/3 Senate requirement. NAFTA was a congressional majority.

It's worth your time to read the article and learn how the fix was in from the beginning.

"Why in the world would any U.S. senator in his right mind vote to ratify this onerous treaty?"

Because the scum are either on the take or they are true believers, or both.

"Lugar either did not read Article 2(3), or he is deliberately trying to deceive the people. The treaty language is clear and unmistakable."

He's read it all right. This particularly despicable senile POS is both a true believer only too willing to sell us out, but also somebody with his hand out waiting for his payoff, if he hasn't gotten at least part of it from in front. He's been working on delivering our sovereignty to the UN since Reagan tossed this abominable piece of crap attempting to pass for a "treaty."

Democrat controlled Senates have a very bad habit of passing by voice vote (by all 5 or less remaining members) rotten UN treaties that would not pass at any other time the last hour before Thanksgiving or Christmas recess.

Don't forget, Jorge is one of the ones pushing this POS treaty.

Their spines aren’t LOST, they’ve been paid for and are in use by the internationalists.

If international money was kept out of the clutches of our greediest political sellouts, we might have a chance to keep our sovereignty.
