The only place in the world where there was essentially no law was the open sea.

Now they are planning to remedy that little loophole.

#1 Read the article. Joan Veon is talking out her pantyhose. It has NOT been ratified!

>>The U.S. government is actually implementing nearly every chapter of the Law of the Sea Treaty since it was first adopted, and we are now looking for Senate ratification. <<

We are illegally implementing every part that the people allow without violence.

Senator James Inhofe, Republican chairman of the Senate Environment Committee is saving our butts.....for a little while.

The Bush administration supports ratification and is joined in that position by a leading member of the U.S. Senate, Senator Richard G. Lugar.

Senator James Inhofe, Republican chairman of the Senate Environment Committee and a critic of the U.N. treaty, cited published newspaper accounts reporting that the Bush administration was retreating from its effort to win Senate endorsement for the 1982 convention under pressure from conservatives who contend it gives the United Nations too much power. Turner rebutted those reports.

Let them try to enforce their laws on the high seas. Fat chance.
