And you're worried about some else's status as a "true conservative" because of a statement?!

A "true conservative" should understand that the House has no input at all in the ratification of treaties.

In case you didn't know, tx_eggman, 2/3 of Senators present can ratify a treaty.

My failure to include the Senate's quorum rules in my statement about the Senate's Consttutional role in the treaty ratification - and the House of Representative's lack thereof - brings to mind straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Thanks for pointing it out.

...straining at gnats and swallowing camels.
So why did you do it to start with?
Don't get sanctimonious about me calling you out for doing the very thing you accuse me of doing.

[philman_36]

How about this...you show me one single reply of yours from before this conversation where you've noted that 2/3 present is all that's necessary to ratify a treaty and that'll properly put me in my place.
I'll profusely apologize at that point.

The Senate Rules can be suspended I think. In any case who believes they give a cr@p about the rules.

The Senate has been in violation of the Constitution since Obama took office, because they have a Constitutional duty to pass a budget. Do you see anyone attempting to arrest Harry because he is in violation of the Constitution and his Oath?

Probably 80 or 90 percent of legislation is passed in the wee hours, by voice vote and no knows who is there, let alone how many votes that represents. Government is evil and has the same characteristic as fire.
