Senate Votes to Stop US from Joining UN Arms treaty

"You mean to tell me something GOOD happened today in the hallowed halls of DC? They voted in an amendment saying the Constitution trumps all treaties, and that particular route is denied in the future. Well, not all did. All the Nay votes, save two from independents, were, you guessed it, Democraps. That's right, all 46 were democraps by my count. I see two democrap senators from Washington State that apparently do not believe in the U.S. Constitution. Murray is up for reelection in 2014 I believe. Come on Washington, purge a plague. And also as expected, both liberals in MA voted nay to this. I hope MA residents will do something right in their libtard lives for once by voting both of them out of office when election comes. Just to be clear, the Constitution has always trumped treaties, and those that voted NAY, violate the Constitution and need to be voted out or thrown out. I’m deadly serious, we have to vote these oath breakers out of office! You want to know which assholes voted against the Constitution supremacy amendment. I list the voting roll below. All of these worthless Nay voting, commie bastards should be tried for
Treason and Hanged! Boxer and Feinstein , voted Nay. May history show them for what they are: Statists, oppressors and ugly. Feinstein actually thinks her behaviors are commendable, honorable, and respect the Constitution. Also, she thinks that 20+ years of being a Senator is a good qualification, and not what it really is, a badge of dishonor, and a moral stain. And as for Ma’m BoxOfRocks Boxer, I hope the people that live in The People’s Socialist Swamp of California have suffered enough with this POS representing them and finally wake up. She is as dumb as a box of rocks and never held a real job in her life and got into politics as soon as she she infested CA. She’s as worthless as they come. And they both hate America. I hope the Democraps that voted yea did it because they believe in the Constitution, and not that they were afraid of not getting re-elected or that there was too many deer hunters watching them. Anybody that would take away your right to defend yourself does not have your best interests in mind. Why can’t the rest of the country understand that? How did so many commie rat bastards get elected? What a pity." MC

The Hill is reporting that the U.S. Senate voted on and passed an amendment to the budget bill that would keep the U.S. from signing onto the UN arms trade treaty. Many have been concerned that the treaty, which does not differentiate between military and civilian firearms, would be used as a back door to enact sweeping gun control regulations in the United States. With the passage of this amendment (by a vote of 53 – 46) it signifies that ratifying such a treaty would be impossible with the current Senate. A Democrat also offered an amendment that clarifies that the U.S. constitution trumps all treaties, which was passed as well.
