People, people, need we remind you, this is Toe-sucker! The man who’s documented to be wrong 99 and 44/100 % of the time (to paraphrase Rush).

Although he might be having a Bill Clinton “blind hog finds a nut once in a while” moment.

“The President may bind the country to anything he may say or do until the Senate considers the treaty in full” (pg 93):

http://books.google.com/books?id=kwYsAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=treaty+binding+until+senate+rejects+it&source=bl&ots=bU-bX4Srys&sig=Okd5_zB_W9Q2xxK4qpF_6FBNxLM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M9wGUIa3A4Ow2QXWpZnOBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CEoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=treaty%20binding%20until%20senate%20rejects%20it&f=false

This was thought necessary by the Framers to allow the president the ability to negotiate, and he can agree to things piecemeal with the UN or other nations and they hold until considered by the Senate IN FULL.

Yet another concern would be Obama ramming it through in a lame-duck session... the possibility of that strategy being implemented here is real indeed.

Obama signing it is BAD anyway you look at it, and I wouldn’t be count on the Constitution -which Obama routinely ignores- NOR the Supreme Court, who seem more interested in working around it at this point.
