http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/0...ited-nations-is-more-important-than-congress/ I find Kerry's comments to be disturbing. I don't know if I would call this "treasonous" but I'd be willing to use the term "stupid." The UN may do good things on relief efforts and some peacekeeping efforts but it has no teeth to deal with nukes. Kerry "works" for us, not the UN. A past member of Congress, he should know better. Despite what the executive branch thinks of the legislative branch these days, there is no excuse to violate US law and ignore Congress that theoretically represents us.
Just when you think the left couldn't possibly get more looney tunes, they always come up with a new on. The UN is a joke and congress is our legislative body. The fact that Kerry, or anyone else, can't get that is a testament to human stupidity.
The deal was negotiated by several nations so it's not an all-US affair so maybe what Kerry wanted to say was that since the effort to get a deal was "international" so to say, the UN would have to vote on the deal first. The American people would also have their chance to review the terms of the deal afterwards . . .
I'm no lawyer, but I don't think the 'several nations' business flies in supporting Kerry's position. See https://law.duke.edu/ilrt/treaties_3.htm and http://law.loyno.edu/~beisen/treatiesus.htm for the how-to. But at the point, what difference does it make? Pfft.
They've also been trying to use the UN to get around the Constitution in other ways - gun control, "hate speech" against muslims, etc. Cue one of the trolls trying to change the subject of the entire thread by bringing up Iraq for the hundredth time.
Politicians are trying to get things done at the level in which big businesses have paid them to be in the position that they are now. Forget about their bosses, which is the citizens of the USA. Those regulations wouldn't fly with us and there would be too much red tape. So they take it to the U.N. and hope and pray that things will pan out by those options of support.
From their own words, these people are "globalists" as the conspiracy goes. Of course he hates congress, they get in the way of his agenda. John Kerry is as shady as they come with regards to profiting on the stock market from government action...this is insider trading for regular people but congress exempted themselves from that law. There was some truth to that swift boat stuff, John McCain and John Kerry have suspect military histories. Oh, and never forget Kerry and Bush went to Yale (a CIA recruiting grounds) and were in the same secret-society/fraternity Skull & Bones...YIKES. He's a sketchy dude, that Mr. Kerry.
I would need to actually watch the clip as I don't trust sites like that one linked. It has a clear agenda and negate anything that doesn't go with that agenda all the time to make democrats look bad. I'm not even sure if Kerry's comments are all that bad. Might just be an overreaction to be honest.
I guess he said that after the dispute that happened over Iran's deal, he does have a point and The system is not perfect. I mean what would happen if the UN and all the world approves the peaceful Iran deal but congress won't?
Amin, whatever the strange treaty "negotiated" by Kerry at Obama's insistence turns out to be, the executive branch bypassing the legislative branch is a violation of the Constitution. Period. Obama is supposed to be a Constitution lawyer; no one has seen his college transcripts. He ought to know better.
