A vast Liberal ejaculation stopped in mid-tube before it could spew all over our national sovereignty. Thank the Lord:
Law of the Sea Treaty now dead, DeMint says
The Law of the Sea Treaty now has 34 senators opposed and thus will not have enough Senate votes for ratification, a key opponent of the treaty announced Monday.

It's a shame those senators went against all military advice on this one.
You mean against the will of the Oblamer appointees.![]()

"require U.S. businesses to pay royalties for resource exploitation"
The article vettman posted said this was part of the treaty. If that is really the language in there I would reject the entire document. What the hell is "resource exploitation" and who decides what it is and where do the royalties go?
If entity x is saying I will pay you this much for a resource and entity y says "I'll take it" there is no exploitation involved. This happens at car dealerships and grocery stores everyday.
I saw that. The list of concerns seems legitimate, however 163 countries have already signed on? They are making laws and dividing land and we dont even have a voice in that? This seems like one of those moments where participating is inevitable, and the longer we take ,the less we're going to like it when we eventually give in.

President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush support the treaty, as does an oddly aligned group including the Pentagon, Sierra Club, oil companies, shipping companies and environmentalists...
No one can claim land under sea that would be ours via the treaty so it is not like we are missing out on anything. Besides not paying taxes/fees for that land.....
