A Senate filled with traitors

Senate traitors on the Left and the
Right try be become modern Arnolds.






Law of the Sea Treaty  -  Traitors in the U.S. Senate
  • Only 34 Senators are willing to stand up against this un-Constitutional power grab.
  • Democrats and Republicans join together to give away America's wealth and give the U.N. power over our internal affairs.

The nation keeps sinking deeper and deeper into un-Constitutional authoritarianism.

The Law of the Sea Treaty undermines the Constitution itself.  Still, a bi-partisan and near 2/3s Senate majority has no problem trashing the Republic and giving the U.N. power over our affairs.

But luck for freedom lovers, the list of treaty opponents has been growing.  Constitutional Federalist Senator Jim DeMint of South, and a leader of efforts to block the treaty, announced that four more Republicans have said that they would vote against ratification: Sens. Mike Johanns of Nebraska, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Rob Portman of Ohio and Johnny Isakson of Georgia.
.
“With 34 senators against the misguided treaty, LOST will not be ratified by the Senate this year,” Senator DeMint said in a statement on his website.

Dick Morris on the treaty



The Law of the Sea Treaty, which entered into force in 1994 and has been signed and ratified by 162 countries, establishes international laws governing the maritime rights of countries.

The Obama Administration is trying to jam through the Law of the Sea Treaty which would require the US to give to the UN Seabed Authority half of our royalties from offshore mining and oil drilling. It would also create a legal framework to require us to curb carbon emissions in order to reduce “thermal pollution” of the oceans.

Rand Paul is second Tea Party Senator to be slapped in the face by the left-wing GOP leadership

It is only an illusion that believers in small, Constitutional government run the Republican Party.

From The Hill
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a favorite son of the Tea Party, wanted a seat on the Senate Budget Committee, but was passed over in favor of a more junior colleague.  The decision was made by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who instead picked Sen. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), the only member of the Senate Republican conference with less seniority than Paul.

Paul is the second prominent Tea Party-affiliated senator to lose out on one of the plum assignments held by Ensign.  Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) met with McConnell earlier this month to express his interest in a seat on the Finance Committee, which Ensign vacated.

McConnell instead tapped Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) to serve on Finance, a surprise pick because Burr had stated twice publicly — once through a spokeswoman — that he did not want to change his committee assignments.
