Traitors, every last one of them...Conspirators to undermine the Constitution.
The U.S. Supreme Court has made it very clear that
1) Treaties do not override the U.S. Constitution.
2) Treaties cannot amend the Constitution. And last,
3) A treaty can be nullified by a statute passed by the U.S. Congress (or by a sovereign State or States if Congress refuses to do so), when the State deems a treaty the performance of a treaty is self-destructive. The law of self-preservation overrules the law of obligation in others.

We were 4 votes away from allowing the UN to come in and DISARM ALL OF US.
Who are the real Terrorists, America?
When will they be arrested and held without bail for trial?
never.
All democrats and a few independents.
Showing that the left wing of the demopublican (or republicrat) party is a bunch of traitorous scum,
not that anybody needed telling who has eyes.
BUT after all look at their glorious leader, obama, who started out in the communist party, went to weather underground, then acorn, then democrats.
None of the sentators on this list care about the bill of rights or the constitution, they don't look for ways to uphold it, but for ways to get around it.
And voting for a foriegn body to have power over Americans is treason, but how is that any differrent than
when they gave our national parks over to the U.N?
Or when Roosevelt signed over everything in the U.S.A , including birth certificates, to the foriegn owned fed?
Which is in the Congressonal record, btw.
But hey, as long as they keep the dole going...

Thue UN coming in to disarm us is interesting considering the WE, the US, are the UN. Other countries wouldn't want to come here an try disarming us, so I wonder where the UN would find the manpower to do it.

The job of every elected official in the nation and their first priority is to upheld and protect the US Constitution.
That is why those of us that believe in our Constitution feel outraged when any of politicians elected by the people decides to crap on the same document they swore to protect.
Is nothing wrong with the treaty but congress first have to make sure that the treaty will not infringe the US Constitution now or later down the line.

Have you even bothered to look at the posts that contradict what you're saying, that illustrate why you're wrong? Can you look at the Treaty, our own supreme law (the Constitution), how the UN works and still come to the conclusion that you have? I don't think you can, not with any honesty anyway. I don't think you want to be wrong about this, I think you would rather exist in a state of mind of fear or hatred.

Why am I not surprised that the two idiot senators from my state (NY) would vote no.
Second.
