This is one of the few cockamamie UN treaties that actually has a chance at ratification. I expect a Senate floor vote sometime after the November 6 election.

I thought I understood LOST was up for a vote right about now. After Richard Lugar (main GOP proponent) has been primaried.

THE U.N. SHOULD PACK UP AND GET THE HELL OUT OF NYC. TAKE ALL THEIR STAFF, ETC., AND FIND A NEW HOME. AS A FOLLOW UP, THE USA SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UN.

John Kerry (chairman of the committee) said there won’t be a vote on the treaty before the election. I think we know what that means, that he, the democrats, and their republican handmaidens (Lugar, McConnell, Graham, Brown, etc) will strong-arm this and other treaties through while they still have control and the votes.

If the entire treaty is enacted, the UN will control ALL waterways that empty into the sea, which almost all ultimately do.

I just skimmed it, and this doesn’t do near what LOST does. I’ll look it over closer tonight.

I found my source on the vote hold-over. It was a Wall Street Journal article:

Sorry - I should have included it in the post.
