Thank GOD for Sen. Jim DeMint! And if Grahamnesty votes for this thing it will be further writing on his tombstone for 2014.
How can we be sure Obama won’t just executive order this??
I’m surprised that the vote is that close. How many votes are necessary to ratify a treaty?
Rumsfeld had an excellent article in the WSJ about LOST Treaty and it is really a frightening threat to the sovereignty of the US. The law of the Sea Treaty is actually a big step toward the one world government redistribution through the regulation of trade, a real George Soros type of treaty.
I blasted my senator (Johanns) last week about switching his support. Evidently he must have received an email blast because this is a less than a week turnaround.
“How many votes are necessary to ratify a treaty?”
Two thirds of those present.
Outstanding news! Thank you, Sen. DeMint.

Obozo will just implement it anyway...........
Glad you did, I meant to but didn’t get to it. This should be such a no-brainer. I like Johanns in a lot of ways, but in some, he seems so wishy-washy. Go Huskers!
Yes, way past time to upgrade his Senate seat.
not enough votes in the senate for LOST to pass?, no problem. obozo will just send Luca to visit each of those senators prior to their voting and its a done deal. I wonder which one is now more powerful, the the mafia Don in Chicago or the obozo in the WH? Whore House works too.

The big porker Thad Cochran is always a ? on so many things. I wish he would just enjoy his retirement, 34 years is enough.
Amazing to me that a political person hasn't had an opinion years ago, one way or the other, about this treaty, which is so important to our sovreignty.-Tom
Lugar will probably vote for it, just to be a vindictive pr*ck.
After seeing an Obamanation as POTUS and the recent failure of SCOTUS to uphold the Constitution, I have become convinced the battleground must be fought in the halls of Congress.
The House and Senate are designed to be closer to the representation of voters of this country and we need a strong conservative majority on both houses to keep this country on the path our founders envisioned.
Congress makes the laws and can not support libs as Justices and can impeach any in the Executive or Judiciary but they need to have the balls to do so. We the people have a better chance with them than the other two branches.
Recall that George W. was doing some very non-conservative things like on immigration and Harriet Myers until we stopped him by making sure our voice was heard not by him but by our representatives and senators.
This treaty should be looked at the same way.
I sent Scott the article on why Reagan would still be against LOST. Put it on his Facebook page.
