Thats great. Too bad there is this thing called "flip-flopping" or I'd feel much better.

 

[Bobk]

I didn't like that only 51 agreed.

Flip Flop? Politicians changing their tune to fit what gets them more votes? No shit? That happens?

IMO, any U.N. treaty that undermines or otherwise "overpowers" the U.S. Constitution or Amendments thereof immediately nullifies the federal government's authority from that moment forward. Radical? I think not. The President and all members of Congress swear to uphold the Constitution, and allowing U.N. treaty/law to supersede the Constitution is a violation of their oaths, pure and simple.

Well said.


Pain is inevitable - Suffering is optional

Until conservative, pro-gunners have a super-majority in the Senate, don't believe what the NRA-ILA tells you.

With a divided 5-4 Supreme Court, our safeguards are not ironclad.

Elections count.

Obama: Sotomayor & Kagen.

Neither respect the "original" intent of the Second Amendment.

Be well.

When the cold war with Russia was is it's last days my uncle (former CIA operative) was sitting on a park bench with his Russian counterpart in Washington DC. Uncle Sam (yes his real name) asked this Russian guy "Why didn't you Russians ever attack us?" His answer was that Russia was not afraid of Americas military. The thing that scared Russia was the vast amount of weapons American citizens had that made attacking America not a good idea. I will never forget the implications of what this Russian said. True story.

Getting 51 Senators to agree on anything except spending more money is a small miracle Seriously though, They got 51 in a Democratic controlled Senate to sign a pre-emptive letter to Obama and Clinton. There were likely others that just didn't want the publicity, of course, there were probably some who would cave as well. Democrat doesn't necessarily mean anti-gun in many of the Western states.

Behind every blade of grass...is the Reserve Militia described in the Constitution.

If we were ever invaded we could multiply our military numbers and suddenly have an army that dwarfs the Chinese and Russians put together. No one would ever attempt this, as long as we retain our 2A rights. Wolverines!!!

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto pretty much said the same thing about the folly of invading the United States.

As POTUS doesn't failing to uphold the constitution in fact leave the country open to all sort's of damaging issues foreign and domestic. There used to be a word for that oh yea TREASON.

 

[woodsong]

While I like it, I wouldn't consider 51 to 49 "strongly" opposing ... maybe more like "just barely".

Ratification requires two-thirds of the Senate. So far 57 senators have said they would vote against the treaty, expected to be wrapped up next year.
