Editor’s note:
The Obama administration and globalists like Sen. Kerry are attempting to use several UN treaties to change US law without congress. The Law of the Sea (LOST) treaty is just one. Obama is expected to sign the UN Arms treaty effecting 2nd amendment rights and NOT bring it up for senate ratification which will allow it to be in effect. Another dangerous treaty with hidden ramifications is the UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child.
These treaties always use good sounding names and are pushed touting supposed benefits but hide the constitutionally subversive issues in the treaties. Due to the treatment of treaties in our constitution they can take precedence over our own constitution and often become the basis for judicial decisions effecting American’s rights.
