[Never on my watch]

It’s 2/3’s of the Senators present.

Then watch out for rules shenanigans to allow this vote to happen at 3 am, December 25th.

"In the next century, nations, as we know it, will be obsolete. All states will recognize a single global authority."
-- Strobe Talbott - Deputy Secretary of State under Bill Clinton. Time Magazine, July 20th, 1992

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

The governing class no doubt knows what is best for the governing class, but does not necessarily know what is best for the people, and must always be kept in check by the ballot-box.

Lord Monckton should become a little more familiar with the Second Amendment and it's appeal to the "ammo box" version of control. GBR will fall the hardest due to her draconian gun possession laws.

[Liberty Valance]

UN out of the US NOW!

The euroweenies never even implemented Kyoto. They make these grandiose agreements, bask in the media attention, and then act in their own self-interest, which is not to gut their economies.

A 9-king kingdom may be the way to go, where the kings are sworn to middle-class wealth and can't pass power on to relatives. This is how the Supreme Court is structured, and they have proven to be the most stable, conservative, and corruption-free branch of government.

No Thanks! Ruth Ginsburg and a Wise Latina are not my idea of a stable, conservative and corruption free government. There may be snakes in the congress, but at least we have some chance of getting rid of them. The Wise Latia is there forever and we have no way to be rid of her.

[Zeneta]

Won’t be long now.

[Reeses]

We are not run by a polit-bureau of 9. We have a system that is being corrupted and is worth fighting for and putting right.

One of the 3 branches of our federal government is a "polit-bureau of 9" and it functions better than the other two. Our elections are frequent which forces politicians to continually give away free stuff and special favors at taxpayers expense. Every election we go more broke. Public elections are nice in theory but they don't work for long in practice. When the USA was founded, elections were limited to men that owned land, a workable design. What we have now is nothing close to that.

bump to read tonight

Tell Congress to set my CO2 free. Declare CO2 a non pollutant.

[raybbr]

Actually come to think of it we’re both wrong. It’s 2/3’s of the Senators present.

Watch for the Senate to vote on this while the GOP senators are at a caucus meeting being held hostage by terrorists...

One of the 3 branches of our federal government is a "polit-bureau of 9" and it functions better than the other two.

One of the reasons the Judicial branch doesn't appear to be a "dysfunctional" as you believe the others to be is that they are pretty much sequestered from the daily political give-and-take wrangling that goes into making law. If they were to simply pronounce the law they would be dictators and the will of the people would be ignored.

I also disagree that it is a particularly conservative court at this point. With so many 5-4 decisions on crucial rulings I think it is a split court becoming more liberal all the time. One more liberal voice on that court and it would become a liberal voice of dictatorship.

You are calling for tyranny. In no way can I or true conservatives support it.

[Reeses]

Ruth Ginsburg and a Wise Latina are not my idea of a stable, conservative and corruption free government.

They only got there from rigged public elections. If George Washington had been 1 of 9 kings for life, we would never have gotten into this bankrupt mess. At least with a 9-king system it's crystal clear when it's time to emigrate: when the conservative king majority drops below 5. You would only have to emigrate at most once in your lifetime, a reasonably stable system.

[Old Professer]

This sh!t’s gotta be stopped!

[GonzoGOP]

You would only have to emigrate at most once in your lifetime, a reasonably stable system.

And where the heck are you going to emigrate to? Mexico, China, how about North Korea, they have a nice stable King there. If i'm going to throw away everything I have worked for it isn't going to be to run away. It will be to fight.

Our problem is not too little stability, it is too darn much stability. Even in a "Tsunami" election year over 80% of the congress got reelected. We need a way to put controlled instability back into the system. That is what elections were meant to do. It is what they need to do again, before we are forced to resort to uncontrolled instability.

The future is UN controlled and so has our past been since the end of WWII. Why do you think we have this idiotic migration process world-wide? I don’t see any migration in the direction of Muslim hellholes — why must 3rd world citizens migrate to the West and not to places like Saudi and Iran where there is more money and where foreign labor is required. The whole world migration process is a UN design for the destruction of the West.

If the new Congress doesn’t put a stop to this nonsense we voted for nothing.

[SandRat]

The UN wants nothing less than 1.5% of our GDP.

That’s $212 billion from the USA every year ($2700 per family of 4).

That’s $32 billion from the UK every year ($2000 per family of 4).

That’s $13 billion from Australia every year ($2400 per family of 4).

Figures calculated from the CIA world Factbook

The Secretariat will have the power not merely to invite nation states to perform their obligations under the climate-change Convention, but to compel them to do so. Nation states are to be ordered to collect, compile and submit vast quantities of information, in a manner and form to be specified by the secretariat and its growing army of subsidiary bodies.

[B4Ranch]

Without the US as a member the UN will collapse. We must demand that we get out, RIGHT NOW!

April 15th from now on to be known as "Molon Labe, You Bastards" Day.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
