Lugar is not gone yet. Won’t be gone until January.
I know and that worries me. I suspect he’s not going to be a patriot during his lame duck status and he’s going to go full-bore internationalist. A truly despicable creature judging by his concession speech.
"But its' a treaty with the UN signed by 0dumb0shit (or GW Bush)"
Good, even more reason to blow these globalist UN bastards to smithereens!
Treaties are said to be inviolable. This is incorrect. Treaties cannot change the fundamental structure of the Constitution. Constitutional rights, such as (but not limited to) the Bill of Rights, cannot be changed by treaty. Because if that were possible, then the entire Constitutional process for amending the Constitution, as well as the fundamental philosophical structure of the Constitution, would be vulnerable to sabotage outside of Constitutional process - supposedly BY a Constitutional provision. But legally, you cannot have conflicting Constitutional laws, nor redundancies. So treaty powers have to be interpreted as secondary to established Constitutional provisions, and subject to pre-existing Constitutional oversight. Otherwise the entire Constitution ends with the phrase “or you can just toss it all out if you feel like it.”
No.
“I know the US Navy is not the one I served in nor the one my dad served in, but how, HOW could they support this?”
Clinton turned the military into a career in which one has to play ball with the libtards to be promoted.
Do you remember the incident in which a group of around a dozen Marine generals left in protest, and were told by the Clinton administration that if they spoke out their retirement benefits would be taken away?
To correct the situation we would have to get rid of pretty much all the perfumed princes. We would be promoting people from 0-4 to 0-10 until things settled out and got back on an even keel.
“a right of denunciation or withdrawal may be implied by the nature of the treaty.”
How about a right of denunciation implied by the size of our military?
I shudder to think of the USN getting into a shooting war, if that is the case.
I saw that “Carrier” thing on PBS a few years ago, and it was appalling. Simply appalling. It wasn’t all roses when I was in, and there was a lot of things I disliked, but watching THAT made me shudder.
And I do remember that incident. May he and his ilk rot in hell.
Well, I know it has to be ratified, but that it is even being considered is extremely disturbing to me, that we have people running our government who would GIVE away our sovereignty.
Anyone who doubts the mischief that can be done by the Senate ratifying treaties should Google “desertification treaty” and see how the late Wyoming Senator Craig Thomas was supposedly “tricked” in allowing this harmful treaty to become US law in a late night session.

Know it well. Please tell that to House Atreides.
