Another locator... I can recall Henry, and Joan Veon, on talk radio years ago, trying to inform the public about this mess.

They're baaaaack... I suppose they'll go with the old illegal, unconstitutional "voice" vote again...

I don't know that it's illegal or unconstitutional, but two things that we KNOW it is --- Cowardly and Devious.

Excerpt from John Turner's Bio at the State Department

John F. Turner
Assistant Secretary,  Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs
Term of Appointment: 11/13/2001 to present

John Turner was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) on November 13, 2001. In this capacity, he heads U.S. Department of State programs and activities concerning HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, the environment, climate change, oceans affairs, and science and technology.

Prior to his appointment as Assistant Secretary, Mr. Turner was President and Chief Executive Officer of The Conservation Fund, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to public-private partnerships to protect land and water resources. With the support of over 200 corporations, during Mr. Turner’s tenure the Fund protected more than 2.8 million acres of parks, wildlife habitat, and open space across America. Between 1989 and 1993, Mr. Turner served as the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where he was responsible for expanding collaborative approaches under the Endangered Species Act, increasing wetland protection and establishing 55 new National Wildlife Refuges, the most of any administration in the nation’s history.

Guys, John Turner, a name to remember! I wonder if he's any relation to Ted. Their idaelogies fit as hand in glove. Peace and love, George.

Now somebody remind me of what the Constitution and the Founding Fathers (most of them) said about foreign treaties.

Article II, section 2, gives the President the power to make treaties, with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the "Senators present"; Article I, section 10, forbids states to make treaties; and Article VI says that "all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land."

Thanks- is the Senate now doing the President's job here?

I was reading a George Carlin book the other day, and he pointed out something very interesting. When did "swamps" become "wetlands"? I'm betting about the same time as the environuts realized that they'll never get support to save a swamp.
