FREEPATHON

moving the last piece

When I was a kid, we didn’t “pick and choose” when the Constitution was “da law of da land.”

[Rummyfan]

...for the first time in American history, a president will simply impose a treaty on the country without even the pretense of seeking and obtaining the advice and consent of the Congress.

So much for living in a representative republic. And I make no distinction - Boehner and McConnell are just as guilty of treason as Obama and Kerry are.

[Rummyfan]

To call this a scandal doesn’t even begin to do justice to what it is. It really does suggest we are fast turning into a banana republic, whose leaders feel free to spit on a Constitution whose central purpose is to restrain the ambitions of strongmen and their shameful toadies.

A Republic, if you can keep it.

[Genoa]

Corker has sent a message to his Tennessee list insisting that President Obama had every right to call the treaty an executive agreement and bypass Congress totally, so he thinks this compromise was shrewd.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This is one of few stories I’ve seen in the MSM, which talk about how this is not being ratified the way the constitutional requires a ratification, with a 2/3 affirmative vote of the Senate.

[RIghtwardHo]

Speaking as a lawyer (well as a retired one) I find the “is it an Agreement or is it a Treaty” issue utterly fascinating. have been researching it to death the past few days (with some wonderful help from some Freepers) and I don’t think it is clear. It certainly hasn’t been litigated.

I’d sure love to see SCOTUS weigh in on this.

Spitting? Try sh**ing.

No wonder the courts keep making lousy rulings, they can't make out the words anymore under all that brown.

What's that I see over the 2nd Amendment, is that a piece of corn?
