They missed the critical point. The means of withdrawal was authorized by Congress at the same time the Treaty was entered. The President had the authority.

Well, IIRC, none of these people was a Senator. The House has no role in approving treaties.

Now, if Tom Daschle and his 49 fellow Democrat Senators filed the suit as an official action of the United States Senate, there'd be an interesting Constitutional question, and we'd finally get a definitive read on the issue.

The fact that he did NOT file the suit implies his agreement with the position that the Executive may unilaterally withdraw from a treaty.

I wonder why this treaty was such an issue. In 30+ years, gains in technology, GPS, payloads and multiple warheads would make any existing treaty meaningless. What took 150 ICBM's then, could be done by a single rocket today.

Another fine example of liberal bias in reporting, e.g., the failure to "mention" that all 32 are Democrats.... If partisian group of Republicans brought a lawsuit against a sitting democrat president you would never hear the end of it (even the impeachment of Bill Clinton had democrat support).

Bush is a man of silent strength. Look for the power of this American president to prove difficult for all these 32 when they run for reelection. My money is on the Republican party putting massive resources into these areas to bleed the democrat party financially while defeating 35%.

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by 32 lawmakers who wanted to stop President Bush's withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

It's already done, so this is nothing more than a tactic to make some noise. I'd like to find out who these 32 chuckleheads are so that I can call their offices and tell them that they suck.

U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled Monday that the lawmakers lacked standing to bring the case, and the withdrawal from the treaty was a political matter, not judicial.

Sweet music to my ears! This same ruling should be applied on a daily basis. We need to replace the liberal "activist" judges have legislated from the bench for far too long.

C'mon Judicial Committee, let's see a parade of those W appointments coming forward!

========= 2002 Ad hoc FR Judicial Watch in the USA =========

from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty because it is a political matter, not judicial.

The Court inaccurately purported that measuring energy output has "no utility" for the USA
even as the USA is at War and needs energy sources.

The ABM Treaty was a vital arms control agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union.

There is no Soviet Union. It's a treaty with a ghost. Ghosts aren't protected by our Constitution - yet.
Give the liberals a few years, and the democrat ghost voters will be askng for elitist status!

I don't see why they're objecting to our withdrawl from a treaty that the Russians broke every chance they got.
As well as it being an insane treaty signed into law to 'garner the affection' of a morally corrupt and insane nation.

I'm curious if there were any public funds used to bring this lawsuit.
