Good for at least another 1/10th point drop in Obama’s Dems approval ratings.
Read the article. I quote Federalist 75 at length.
First of all, the Senate must have a quorum in order to hold any vote, i.e. 51 senators must be present to conduct business.
That is a rule, not a Constitutional requirement. A filibuster can be conducted with ONE Senator present.
Second, if the Rats tried to hold a dark of night secret vote to pass this, or tried some shenanigan like that, they would be crucified and they know it.
It's already been done, many times, as the article cites with historical examples.
You can bet your bottom dollar that there would be a lawsuit to overturn it before the ink was dry on the first editorial.
There has never been a treaty thrown out on Constitutional or procedural grounds. Not one.
You have to admit that's a weird title, especially considering his dad was such a doofus screw-up with REALLY anti-American ideas. Maybe Obama is clairvoyant?
Does treason fall under the rubric of high crimes and misdemeanors
?
Nice going, genius Obambi. What a way to celebrate the
U.S. Constitution Anniversary...
As a people, we've forgotten the lessons of the past, learned both home and abroad.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~ President Ronald Reagan
ROTFLMAO!
Well, Barry has some big cajones, that’s for sure.
bump
I cannot believe I just read this. Obama is beyond arrogant.
Re; My last post THE ARTCLE I posted.
Seriously Does Obama think he is funny saying he accomplished SO MUCH that world peace is next? Like he did any good????
There's no EO baloney on treaties. And a treaty this would be.
An aside. I *wish* conservative journalists would be careful with this:
Obama has been a major U.N. supporter since he was in the Senate and sponsored a bill, the Global Poverty Act (S 2433), to force U.S. compliance with the MDGs.
They better look into that Bill and READ IT. And see whose idea it was wwhich that Bill then came from, before they try to tie it around Barry like it was his love child.
hint: The person now lives in Texas, his father was POTUS and he has a brother that was Gov of FL.

The U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification was ratified by the U.S. Senate on October 18, but few Senators yet know that it has been ratified. Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY) introduced a package of 34 treaties, all of which were ratified by a show of hands — no recorded vote.
It just keeps getting better /s
Aren’t we paying too much to support the U.N. already, and now Obama is endorsing global taxes.
I agree 100% I believe that Dinesh D’Souza is right on the mark.
I don’t begrudge anyone promoting their band or blog but this poster is singularly focused on self promotion.
He/she never posts anything but their band.
I heard someone say that they feel like they are witnessing the biggest heist in the history of mankind.
Whoever said that, I agree. This is an amazing time with first a coup of the USA then the ransacking of our coffers.
And we're still the "bad guys" by opposing the re-election of RINOs to congress!
Yikes.
“Theoretically”
But, not when You have a Muslim, Terrorist, Racist wannabe Dictator
