And what is the name of this “treaty” that we signed with the WTO?

There is not treaty....we agreeed to join...there is no treaty

Constitutionally....we are not obligated to follow an “agreement”.....also, all treaties have one thing in common....they are made to be broken.

Those who value Free Trade over national soverignty are committing treason.

a package of 34 treaties, all of which were ratified by a show of hands — no recorded vote.

There were many beginning with the GATT agreement in 1946. The latest was the Uruguay agreement in 1986. These agreements are not with the WTO though. They are multilateral treaties with many other countries. We adopted them and we are obliged to honor them.

Well fortunately the constitution defines treason differently.

If history is any guide then it is not free trade that poses the biggest threat to national survival but opposition to free trade. Just look at history's most strident examples of economic self-reliance: Nazi Germany and the USSR. Both of them were economic basket cases compared to the countries that practiced free trade.
