> TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! <

According to the Constitution, ratification of a treaty requires 2/3 of the Senate to vote yes. They got their 2/3.

But I still think you’re right. This treaty will evidently force domestic companies to do (or not do) certain things. No treaty can force such compliance! That would take a law passed by both Houses, and then signed by the President. We sure don’t have that here.

So if this vote is just a meaningless gesture, okay. But if anyone tries to enforce this treaty, the courts should slap them down, hard.

This is not a treaty with a foreign government. It is a potential U.S. law.

To be valid, a U.S. law MUST be constitutional (US Const., Art, VI, Cl. 2). Otherwise it is to be nullified, ignored and cancelled.

Hint - they already passed the law. It is the AIM Act of 2019 - which they slipped into the Dec 24, 2021 Budget Reconciliation act of 2021.

So we are all already screwed !
