If a President signs a treaty, and if the senate ratifies it, then that treaty becomes the law of our land.

Also see Article II. A treaty needs consent from 2/3rds of the Senate, which is even more than the super-majority required for cloture.

Will Obama get 67 Senators to comply?

Tough for now, but the Left is so close now that they can smell victory. If they succeed in getting this ratified, it will, in effect, bring the U.S. under the heel of the embryonic world government the international Left has been slowly constructing in Europe. Not only must this monstrosity be defeated, we must find a way to put a stake through it's heart and kill it permanently.
