Um, I was going to say something, but the "System error" lasted so long that I forgot what it was that I wanted to say. The internets are tubing me tonight. Or is that "hosing me?" I can't keep all of this newfandangled crap straight.
skh
I believe this would be where the left gets there comeupance.It would have to or we would cease to be a republic.
There's a problem w/ your hypo. The Senate hasn't yet ratified the treaty and, therefore, it is not a law or treaty obligation binding the U.S. government.
But if the Senate does ratify the treaty, then, under both U.S. and international law, it is a law and treaty obligation binding the U.S. government.
Your hypothetical problem isn't really with the courts. Your hypothetical problem is with the U.S. Senate.
No Chuck, that the Kyoto Treaty has not been ratified is exactly my point Where was the legalized abortion legislation? Democrats have consistently used the courts to implement programs they have no hope of passing legislatively.
I agree with Jack H., this is why we have the 2nd ammendment, so that when the time comes we can deal with the defectives appropriately. Defectives, I think that dehumanizes them nicely and we know why that's necessary, right? I think quite a few of our Founding Fathers would already be running in circles screaming at us to do something before it's too late. The day they start going door to door confiscating guns it will be too late, oh they already did that in New Orleans
didn't they?
Wow, I feel so much lighter now, that stuff really weighs you down. Thanks.
"Where was the legalized abortion legislation?"
You are comparing apples to coconuts. The SCOTUS' reasoning regarding abortion had to do with the right of privacy implied by the U.S. Const. In dealing Kyoto, the SCOTUS would have to deal w/ something totally different -- treaty interpretation and its applicabilty to U.S. domestic law under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Const.
Apples. Coconuts.
But something that might really screw us all up is if the "next" POTUS (Hilldog) decides to sign Kyoto as an executive agreement. Sure, it's not a treaty but, under established international law and SCOTUS precedent, it could still bind the country.
It's called natural progression Chuck ... slippery slope, and all that. Don't be hidebound. This is not a comparison to anything, it's a freaking hypothesis of where we're headed.
Time for me to get my CC permit, clearly!
They don't need Kyoto. Just have EPA crank out more regs. Now that comes under the Executive, but that won't stop Dems and their moles in the courts. Look at the latest CO2 fiasco from the Supremes.
