Last time I read the Constitution (3 weeks ago), there was a procedure for the U.S. becoming party to a treaty. There IS NO OTHER procedure. This is just an agreement. The procedure is in place so that we will not find that an agent of our government has sold out the nation. If you remember your history, you would find a similar situation in the Treaty of Versailles which our president signed and which was not ratified. This ratification process is exactly why we are bound to NAFTA, which has hurt us economically.

Re: Really guys?
How can you know you're NOT doing anything illegal if you DON'T KNOW what's illegal?
