Primarily I picked your post to respond to in order to compliment your choice of tagline: (Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t. (M.Thatcher))
Nice - very, very nice. :o)
...but also to remind posters that treaty passage requires only a 2/3s majority AMONG THOSE PRESENT.
Considering the Constitutional and legal transgressions accumulating to the current Administration, I don’t put it past them to employ the most outrageous of shenanigans to enact this into law and then thumb their noses at the hapless GOP and citizens alike.
Yes, of course. Harry Reid will secretly schedule a vote, only inviting those 51 Senators among whom he can get 34 votes, and the 58 Senators who've already publicly signed letters in opposition, some of whom will have to be invited to get a quorum, will not tell anybody else, or those not invited will stay home and sit on their hands instead of showing up to vote.
I have to say, this thread is an entertaining one.
Thank you! :-)
As to the second part of your comment re: outrageous shenanigans ..... totally agree. If they were willing to do F&F to gin up numbers as a justification for gun control (which I believe they did & deaths had to happen for it to be ‘successful’), Barkie Boy/Dems will stop at nothing to get what they want.
