Don't treaties require a two thirds majority affirmation...

They only need 51 to have a quorum, so without any rules to delay a vote, they can just bring it to the floor and vote it through with 2/3 present, when only have the GOP is there.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. What a very, very dangerous situation we're in.
