Obama to surrender US sovereignty at UN global warming conference

Not content with his humiliation at Copenhagen, Denmark this past September, President Obama will be traveling there again in December to attend the UN COP15 Climate Change Conference. This agreement would commit the United States to punitive and expensive greenhouse gas regulations dictated by the United Nations without recourse.

COP stands for "Conference of the Parties" and the December Copenhagen conference will be the 15th under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), hence COP15. According to their website, it will be one of the largest conferences ever held outside the New York or Geneva headquarters, with an anticipated attendance of over 10,000 people, including governmental representatives from 189 countries, industry groups, and other non-governmental organizations.

The theme of the December 7 - 18 conference is "Hope," so perhaps Mr. Obama will have more luck this time. Instead of soliciting the International Olympic Committee with trite clichés and no payoffs, he will be doing something much easier: selling out our country. After all, ceding power, relinquishing billions in U.S. tax dollars and destroying U.S. economic competitiveness is a pretty easy sell to the countries that will benefit, and he has had a lot of practice doing the same thing here at home. He will have a hard time screwing this one up.

The Hope site optimistically pronounces:

On 7 December, leaders from 192 countries gather for UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and decide the fate of our planet...

Under Obama, Americans are dead men walking.

This treaty will NEVER be ratified by the US Senate.

It doesn't take long to Google a UN document stating that treaties are considered binding upon signature, NOT RATIFICATION. Frankly, there are so many sources of this that it would take too long to pick out the most definitive.

From but one such UN document (PDF): An Overview of International Law, page 6:

Once a treaty is signed, customary law, as well as the 1969 Vienna Convention, state that a State must not act contrary to the object and purpose of the particular treaty, even if it has not entered into force yet.

That's right, upon "signature," per the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. As to who would enforce it, that would be a United States Government, pursuant to an unconstitutional usurpation of power (similar to any one of hundreds).

If you are thinking of looking for help from the SCOTUS, I wouldn't go there. They've been part of this little scam from the day the Constitution was signed.

Just like the atrocity called obamacare with a nat ID card in it won’t pass...

The democrats are a sinking ship and they do not care. They have but one goal and this thread’s title is it. Who will stop them?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Will 0bama bypass the votes of 2/3rd’s of the congress to do this? He has frighteningly gotten away with everything else.

[Major Matt Mason]

He will have a hard time screwing this one up.

Not only this, but it will also send a tingle up and down this America hater's leg as he is doing the deed.

Well, no treaty is inviolate and irreversable if the government abrogating the treaty is strong enough and resolute enough. I am not optimistic that the US would ever back out of this treaty after signature, but a US that explained that it was bigger, stronger and meaner than the opposition could do it (a fantasy, I know).

"The US Senate rejected the UN’s Biodiversity Treaty in 1994. Clinton told the senate to go “F” itself and signed a blizzard of EOs and dictates... Clinton should have been impeached for this, not Monica’s dress."

I certainly agree (add Chinagate too), and the topic is very serious, but I can't resist asking: do you really want to talk about how his dictates at the same time you mention Monica?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Im sure he takes joy in that just like he screwed over Poland and the Ukraine on Russia’s anniversary on accident oooops yeah right my ass.
