As if ruining the economy, transforming the US into a socialist nation, and destroying the Constitution wasn't enough, Democrats in the Senate are setting up to ratify a treaty with the UN that will destroy the sovereignty of the US and turn it over to the Useless Nations.
The UN Law of the Sea Treaty declares all things oceanic to be under the authority of the UN who would control the rivers of the US as a "universal heritage of mankind". It also provides for UN to assume command of the US Navy to enforce the treaty.
157 nations have signed the treaty since it was proposed in 1982. It has been before the Senate for nearly 30 years but has never been brought up for a full ratification vote. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, stated in his confirmation as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee that he would, "reintroduce the treaty and push for ratification. The key here is just timing -- how we proceed."
The treaty also allows environmental groups to bring lawsuits to the Law of the Sea Tribunal in Germany, a panel of 21 U.N. judges who would have say over pollution levels in American rivers. Their rulings would have the force law in the U.S., according to a reading in a 2008 Supreme Court decision by Justice John Paul Stevens.
Steve Groves of the Heritage Foundation says, "The thing is about 150 pages long -- meaning there are exactly zero people in the Senate who have read it."
"The whole theory of the treaty is that the world's oceans and everything below them are the common heritage of mankind," said Groves. "Very socialist."
Everybody LOCK AND LOAD!! It is time, past time to do what is demanded of us in the Declaration of Independence. I'm sick of this crapola. We've waited too long. Harry Reid, in response to claims the people were complaining about the Senate preparing a second stimulus bill, said if the people don't like what government is doing, they need to get a life. (paraphrased)
BA$TARD TRAITOR!!
