The UN gun treaty is up for review and ratification. This is likely to shut down any attempts to filibuster that treaty and make the UN registration the law of the land.

Could have something to do with it but I believe the treaty ratification requires a 2/3 vote of those present. Of course Dingy Harry may have a way around that too.

The UN treaty needs 2/3’s of the the Senators present to pass. A filibuster will not apply.

Filibuster makes no sense in the case of a Treaty because it takes 67 votes to pass, which is a higher threshold than the 60 votes to stop a filibuster.

This is probably about amnesty. They want to ram amnesty through and dump it on the House. Hairy can let a few Dems off the plantation on that vote if he only needs 50 votes.
If Reid needs 60 votes for amnesty I believe he needs the gang GOP plus one more and all the Dems. Some of the Dems up for reelection won’t want to vote for amnesty right now.

Ratifying a treaty requires a 2/3 Senate vote, which is a higher threshhold than the 60 votes required to end a filibuster.
