Hmmm, i seem to recall that a treaty needs to be ratified by 2/3 of the Senate for it to be valid. i don’t recall this ever coming up for a vote.

So this...thing...whatever it is, has NO force of law.

It’s being negotiated in secret so it can be presented as a fait accompli to the legislatures of all of the involved nations. Each will have the international version of peer pressure put on it — everybody else is doing it so you do it or the rest of the countries won’t like you.

So much for Obama’s new transparency.
