Thank GOD for Sen. Jim DeMint! And if Grahamnesty votes for this thing it will be further writing on his tombstone for 2014.
I’m surprised that the vote is that close. How many votes are necessary to ratify a treaty?
Rumsfeld had an excellent article in the WSJ about LOST Treaty and it is really a frightening threat to the sovereignty of the US. The law of the Sea Treaty is actually a big step toward the one world government redistribution through the regulation of trade, a real George Soros type of treaty.
I blasted my senator (Johanns) last week about switching his support. Evidently he must have received an email blast because this is a less than a week turnaround.
Outstanding news! Thank you, Sen. DeMint.

Obozo will just implement it anyway...........
not enough votes in the senate for LOST to pass?, no problem. obozo will just send Luca to visit each of those senators prior to their voting and its a done deal. I wonder which one is now more powerful, the the mafia Don in Chicago or the obozo in the WH? Whore House works too.

The big porker Thad Cochran is always a ? on so many things. I wish he would just enjoy his retirement, 34 years is enough.
Amazing to me that a political person hasn't had an opinion years ago, one way or the other, about this treaty, which is so important to our sovreignty.-Tom
Lugar will probably vote for it, just to be a vindictive pr*ck.
After seeing an Obamanation as POTUS and the recent failure of SCOTUS to uphold the Constitution, I have become convinced the battleground must be fought in the halls of Congress.
The House and Senate are designed to be closer to the representation of voters of this country and we need a strong conservative majority on both houses to keep this country on the path our founders envisioned.
Congress makes the laws and can not support libs as Justices and can impeach any in the Executive or Judiciary but they need to have the balls to do so. We the people have a better chance with them than the other two branches.
Recall that George W. was doing some very non-conservative things like on immigration and Harriet Myers until we stopped him by making sure our voice was heard not by him but by our representatives and senators.
This treaty should be looked at the same way.
Lugar blew a 40 year career over support for crap like this.
Thankfully he did’t get to see this one passed before he retires to whatever state he calls home. (which hasn’t been Indiana since the 70’s)
When it’s completely defeated I’ll breathe a sigh of enormous relief. I first learned about this madness when GWB was president and have been terrified somehow it would squeak through. It’s a sell-out of our sovereignty of the highest order.
!!!! The next step is to push President Romney into revoking the treaty—which he can do unilaterally (the way W revoked the ICC signature on an unratified treaty).
LOST has been sitting around for 30 years for rats and folks like McCain and Lugar to find just one moment where they can get 66 votes in a lame-duck session. It’s time to put a stake in the heart of this monster. The only way to do that is the president “unsigning” the treaty.
Yes, remember how some sold out to obummercare? Olympia Snowe - good riddance.
I’m sure I don’t even need to look to see if our beloved republican senator from Alaska voted for this.
Wrote both my Senators in GA. Chambliss was already on board. I’m glad to see Isaakson finally commited.
Logic sez get more to oppose lest Kerry’s crowd pull some stunt during the lame duck.
I’m not the least bit interested in cooperating with the UN - except to help load up their crap and move them off our shores.
I thought Grassley was in favor of LOST.
Glad to see him in opposition...
