ATTEMPT TO USE A UN TREATY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CONSTITUTION AVOIDED

I really prefer to stick with political theory itself, rather than get involved in individual initiatives. But this is a great day to celebrate the avoidance of a terrible abuse of our system of government.

It’s not common knowledge that Treaties have the same legal power as the constitution. They are effectively amendments. The Obama administration has been trying to accomplish through the treaty process what it could not accomplish through the democratic electoral, or legislative process.

This is only one of the initiatives that the administration is using to circumvent the constitutional protections we enjoy. And it’s the first one to be defeated. Hopefully it will be only the fist to be defeated.

Congratulations to everyone who wrote letters, emails and made phone calls.
