Simply put, Browne is wrong on this. The treaty has never been submitted to the Senate.
The Senate, on its own, passed a "sense of the Senate" resolution rejecting Kyoto by 95 - 0, or some such. But the treaty is still out there. Algore eventually would have submitted it for ratification.
My hat is off to Bush for having the intestinal fortitude to reject the whole idea.

This gets my "grasping at straws" award for the day.
I'm sure the 95 would change their mind on this. Talk about a free shot!
