1. A UN treaty which the US signed(and possibly ratified, but never really enforced) brought a public rebuke on the US by some UN POS (don't think it was KA). 'It' actually said that if a country signed a UN document, it was expected to adhere to it. This rebuke may have been deserved, not so much for the implication that UN 'laws' outrank our laws, but because our presidents have happily signed UN treaties that are in direct conflict with our laws thinking it's safe to do that as the UN has no way to force us to obey. Photo op treaty signing. Which I always feared could bite us in the butt, if the UN ever got its global taxation, global standing army, global supreme court...The treaty in question would have allowed any journalist or UN staffer to enter ANY US prison to speak to ANY prisoner...Why we ever signed is a mystery,but why we ignored the signature is obvious: That is not the way our prisons (especially level 2s and higher) are run!
2.Our patriotic senate one day sat down and ratified several dozen pending UN treaties pertaining to the enviromnment and especially desertification (which is listed in the MS declaration ). They did this when most of the senate was out over the weekend, by simple majority, without reading the documents aloud, and without recording who voted yay and who voted nay. This was in summer/fall 2000. Sounds impossibleto believe, but I remember reading several sulphurous threads about it right here.
