This is simply not Constitutionally accurate. Treaties (along with the Constitution) are the supreme law of the law (Article VI).

CAFTA is not a treaty, even if you ignore the fact that the senate did not ratify it. It looks, acts, and most definitely is simple legislation.

Too much crap in one article to even bother with. Maybe that is why there are no comments.

"Fast track authority" is a violation of the separation of powers because the President has then become the legislator

If that is true, what was that vote in Congress all about?

Constitutional Convention- bad, very bad and I would fight it to the max. In it you could ditch all our rights and impose all sorts of bad things. I like our current one and do not like what a bunch of PC/right/left crazies might impose on us. Let us fight to make those in power obey the current one. If you get a new one, who says anyone will follow it?

A new Constitutional Convention would lead to a revolution and who knows what else. Use your vote or run for office.

Man, where is the tinfoil?
