Why a treaty?



Well, do you know how to abrogate a treaty?

Can the congress repeal a treaty as simply as passing a law?

Can the congress do it at all?

Both parties want their winnings to be as close to irrevocable by future opposition majorities as possible.

Enshrining the liberal achievement in a treaty is almost as good as cementing it into due process, equal protection, or its own shiny, new amendment.

So liberal bloggers and pundits in a news lull are using this attack in the Globe as an occasion to bash the Republicans about it, again.
