treaty will never pass the senate

[Starboard]

I doubt that, although I will be happy to concede I’m wrong if that’s the case. Obama will buy off the necessary support from Dems and the Republicans will reliably cave, as usual. They too can be bought. The fix is in.

[Genoa]

Didn’t they decide it’s not a treaty? I think the Senate just gives it a face-saving once-over. Maybe I got that wrong.

In Old America, perhaps. But Dear Reader will find some way to make this binding without the social club known as the Senate.

[Diogenesis]

The Senate is “road kill” now, useless as a third
teat on a bull. They, under McConnell, gave up
all power to the King.

y not?

If so, wouldn't the remaining five signatory countries go full ahead with the terms of the treaty?

[silverleaf]

The rules changed

Obama has control

It is in effect unless they kill it with a super majority which of course they cannot get with our squish RINOs who are afraid of being called racist if they oppose Barack

treaty will never pass the senate

Who says it's a "treaty"?

They just call it an "agreement". That way it avoids the hassle of having to be ratified by 2/3 of the Senate.

Just like TPP and NAFTA.

A Treaty by any other name....

They'll just fast track it and call up enough congressmen and senators and remind them that the NSA has been monitoring their phone calls.

“treaty will never pass the senate”

Treaty? Senate?

This “agreement” will be implemented by the United Nations.
