Personally I don’t believe this treaty has the 67 votes needed in the Senate and will not have.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! 34 senators treaty quorum

Not 67...a mere 34!

All treaties that are approved by 2/3rds vote in the Senate are still subject to constitutional limitations.

See 90!ll

And you're wrong, cll, just like the writers of this article.

From The American Ideal of 1776
The Twelve Basic American Principles

Limited Government in Relation to The Constitution's Treaty Clause
The Constitution is supreme over laws and treaties; it expressly states (Article VI, Section 2) that: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land . . ." This means that any such Law (Act of Congress) which violates the Constitution is automatically made null and void to start with--nullified by the Constitution itself--and therefore cannot be a part of the "supreme Law of the Land." This is also true as to treaties.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong! 34 senators treaty quorum”

Get a life.
Its going to take 67 votes and its not going to happen.

Worry about something that is really going to happen like a bi-partisan bill to let all 11-20 million illegal aliens stay and get on a path to citizenship.

Worry about the DHS taking those 2 billion rounds of ammo, 7,000 full auto assault rifles and 2717 armored trucks and start jack booting the general public or help Obutnik take over and declare himself President for life.

Worry about 39,000 drones flyng over your house on an hourly basis spying on everything you do.
