Hey Lot,
-I placed this same this clip below under the Climate Blackmail thread, but didn't get much comment.
-The sad thing here is that Obama was for this treaty prior to being president, ...it was brought up during the campaign, but no one seemed to care,--including McCain. Since his election, Obama has not commented on it. If I remember, teh price tag for the US is something like 8% of our GDP.
-THis of course is a big rip off. Very doubrful that even this senate would vote in favor of it.
-However, if teh administration is in favor of the treaty, it can still provide the funds , or some part of them, to the UN without ever signing the treaty. The only good thing about that is that the next administration could just stop payiing any money if it so directed.
-But if this administration signs a treaty that says the US will comply , and the senate ratifies that treaty, then future administrations must, according to the constitution, continue to pay, until a new senate votes to withdraw from teh treaty (even though this treaty supposedly have a clause that says no signee can withdraw unless all other signees (or maybe some lagre % of them) agree. This requirement for our continued adhearance to the treaty results from Article VI of our Constitution which says that treaties ratified by the Senate must be viewed as "...the supreme Law of the Land."
-Scary , huh!
