Kinda like so-called "gun control" legislation.
Should not even be that close
>> Republican Mike Lee of Utah on Wednesday became the 34th senator to oppose
Who was the 1st, Cruz?
The fact that *ANY* US Senator is willing to subscribe to *ANYTHING* the UN proposes regulating what we do here in our own land should be grounds for immediate removal from office.
Thank God. finally some good news.
This should not even be an issue to begin. All Senators should be stating emphatically NO! The next step is cut off all US funding to the UN. All diplomats whom have any type of legal problem in the US, (diplomatic immunity my fanny) be arrested. Than the entire UN body be ousted out of the US. The UN building razed to the ground immediately. The UN is a joke.
Bless you Senator Lee.
Good news....
Next...lets dump the whole UN...
I believe the Treaty has to come to a Vote before they reject it,if Harry Reed does not bring it to a Vote it is in effect until he does
Is this for real? I need to send him a THANK YOU note
Good. Where’s the sequestration cuts on this money-pit? Why are WE propping up the U.N. with out tax dollars?
Doesn't that mean he's the 35th.
PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THE LINK.....and forward to all on your email list...THIS INFO MUST BE KNOWN!
It only takes 34 Senators to ratify a treaty with a minimum quorum. You can thank Hamilton for that little gem.
Article II, Section 2 Clause 2 of the Constitution says very plainly that it takes "two thirds of the Senators present" to ratify a treaty, not two thirds of the full Senate. With a minimum quorum that's 34 senators, not 67. Anybody who thinks it is beyond Harry Reid to pull a stunt to steal our freedom isn't awake.
This is too close. We had better prepare for the worst.
I would love for the gun grabbers, Obama, the socialist dimocrats, the stinking UN, the commies, etc., to SHOW AND PROVE TO ME, that ONE, just ONE stinking crime was committed by a scum sucking gang banger LEGALLY purchased a hand gun and then went out and committed a crime with it. Prove it to me to show me that these laws are going to stop gun related crime and murders!!!! They can’t. Because these scum do not go into a gun store and legally purchase guns. NEVER!!! They get them in the black market. Even with total confiscation of guns, gun crime will not stop. These stupid feds cannot stop millions of tons of illegal drugs from being brought into the country. They WILL NOT be able to stop black market guns, made in commie 3d world nations, eastern block countries, from coming into the US.
now vote it down on the floor
Now let the arm twisting begin.
