Re: RE: (Fwd) Jesse Helms is Sparking a Real Constitutio nal Crisis - T


I guess the idea is that we are bound by treaty to respect the international
courts, and Helms wants to except US troops, in effect by abrogating that
part of the treaty, without actually abrogating the treaty. As a theory of
constitutional crisis, it's dicy, since the legal bindingness of the treaty
depends on Senate ratification,a nd waht the Senate giveth, the Senate can
taketh away. --jks


i don't get it: why is this a constitutional crisis?
