...Kerry went on to declare that the United States would not support any treaty that “would be inconsistent with U.S. law and the rights of American citizens under our Constitution, including the Second Amendment.”...

It'll be an interesting day if they pass that.

The U.S. Senate must consent to any treaty entered into by the Executive. And that consent must be in the form of a 2/3 majority vote before ratification can take place. There isn't a snowballs chance in a furnace, that the ATT would ever clear the Senate. Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry are playing to a foreign audience they feel is more important and influential than the American people. All the while knowing that Senate consent was a dead letter. This will play out just like Kyoto, a rejected treaty used by the Socialist masquerading as President, and his minions, to hammer his political opponents.

Yes. In the Chinese sense of the word, I fear... This really can't go anywhere good.

I have read it is Two Thirds of the Senate present not the full 2/3. Let's hope all our Republican senators have good attendance.
