George Soros is funding UN propaganda in support of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) via his Media Matters outlet. The ATT is currently being discussed in a UN conference which runs from July 2 through July 27. President Barak Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have pledged their support of the ATT which includes the following provisions:
In order to avoid being labeled a “human rights abuser,” the United States (along with all member states) is ordered by the UN to comply with the ATT. To compel this compliance, the ATT empowers the UN to force Congress to:
• Enact internationally agreed licensing requirements for Americans
• Confiscate and destroy unauthorized firearms of Americans while allowing the U.S. government to keep theirs
• Ban the trade, sale, and private ownership of semi-automatic guns
• Create and mandate an international registry to organize an encompassing gun confiscation in America
To make matters worse, Iran has been named to the group overseeing the ATT conference.
Anyone catch a whiff of irony here? The Obama Regime spent the first 2 years of its term flooding Mexican drug cartels with weapons that are illegal in Mexico, yet they would subject your constitutionally protected firearms to the mandate of the U.N. The ATT is nothing less than an assault on the 2nd Amendment and the usurpation of American sovereignty by a foreign power. Promoting the ATT is direct conflict with the oath of office sworn to by the President:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”[
Promoting the ATT is also in direct conflict with oath of office sworn to by the Secretary of State:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Please read the entire article here.
The treaty must not pass, and the UN must be destroyed.
California is already hard at work attempting to restrict the gun rights of its citizens a la the U.N. already:
They need 60 votes in the Senate to enact the treaty, correct? Of course, Bammy will certainly try to find away to circumvent the Constitutional restriction of his power to enter into treaties.
The irony here is that destroying the evil that the U.N. has become would be a relatively easy thing to do for we Americans to accomplish, should we possess the political will to do so. All we need do is withdraw our membership, and refuse to give them another dime. It is only with the wealth created by our free market system that these thugs are able to propose inflicting their Marxist ideology upon us.
@ Flyovercountry:
It’s really time to resign our membership, kick them out of the U.S., and send them to the Hague. Think of the parking spaces it would free up in NYC and at least the parking tickets would be paid. Amazing that they have everything else over there in Europe but the high-livin’ asshats in the General Assembly are here.

I’d like to say that there is no way that law will survive a constitutional challenge, but with Roberts switching sides who knows? I don’t know if Roberts changing position is a one off or if it is the new way that things will be. I guess we’ll find out next term.

I can envision all too clearly the Court deferring to the Senate’s power to ratify a treaty even if that treaty impinges upon elements of domestic sovereignty.

Has anyone else noticed that Fast and Furious seems to have faded from the headlines?
@ buzzsawmonkey:
That’d kind of be the final blow to the notion of limited government, wouldn’t it? I think that would be sufficient grounds for dissolution of the union. The Bill of Rights represents ground where no legitimate Government may tread. A large percentage of the population already believes that our government has lost the consent of the governed. I think ratifying this treaty would be the final straw.
Can’t take all of your stuff until they get your guns.
It’ps an old story.
@ Carolina Girl:
It hasn’t gone anywhere. We have a full 5 months to fill. This albatross will be around for the general election.
@ Carolina Girl:
It takes 67 votes to ratify a treaty. Once ratified, a treaty has the force of law.
This thing will never be ratified, but that wouldn’t stop Obama from issuing an executive order to implement its provisions without ratification.
He basically gave up pretending to care about the Constitution, anyway.
@ lobo91:
And this is the point I keep hammering home to those that tell me “if we take the House and Senate, we don’t have to worry if Obama is re-elected.”
This a lawless tyrant who will circumvent Congress and the courts. He must be thrown out of office.

Of course the chance of Holder being disbarred by the DC bar is slim to none. At least the heat is still on.
This is for Rodan.

If anyone was listening to Rush just now, he just backed up what I said on my post this morning. He said running on the economy is not enough. You need to destroy Obama personally.
I am not alone in my observation.
Back on topic, this is what Obama meant by they would do gun control by stealth.
If I were an American what would anger me most with Chief Justice Roberts is that he is tasteless joking about the need to be in an “impregnable fortress” because people are not happy with his decision.
@ MikeA:
I saw that. Yup, that man is evil.

That may have been his point, but if it was, he did not make it. He could have easily voided the bastard bill that is Obamacare and remained fully true to non-activist judicial principles; instead, he found reasons to uphold it which the Administration had not argued (had, indeed, rejected and fled from), which is an example of his engaging in judicial activism par excellence. And, in doing so, he was derelict in his duty, which was to uphold the Constitution and not to legislate from the bench or play mind-games with the electorate.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
I thought that they argued it both ways in front of the court to cover all their bases. In public, yeah… it was a penalty and all that. But before the court they said its a penalty but it could be a tax also.
I agree that Roberts screwed the pooch on this BIG time.
as for seizing firearms, it could come to that…but there is always the last resort….we all gotta go sometime

If they want a real HOT civil war, go door to door trying to seize firearms. Might work in the big cities but won’t work in the rest of the country. Heck, some places, the local cops would be firing at the feds…

May not work in big cities either. This would be suicide on the government’s part. heck many soldiers will refuse.. This would lead to a military coup I think.

I hope you would be right, but right now I don’t have confidence in a lot of people. I could easily see the grabbermint finding enough people ready to follow orders. I was about to say illegal orders, but I don’t think that phrase has much meaning anymore. Look at some of the TSA horror stories that have been reported in the last few years.

after Katrina the cops stole a lot of firearms…they were sued and lost, told to return the guns but they and most of the cops were long gone by then…a brazen disregard for the law
@ citizen_q:
There are always petty people who welcome the opportunity to bully their fellow citizens from behind the safety of a badge and a gun. To assume that police will defend their neighbors against the larger force of the federal government is a mistake; even assuming that the armed forces will disregard blatantly illegal orders to proceed against their fellow citizens is a mistake. Look at how the Army routed the veterans of the Bonus Army in 1932, for example.
the UN is the largest money laundering enterprise in human history….they are not going anywhere, except to the bank
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Precisely. The American people are not responsible for writing bad law and bad law should not be left to the electorate to correct through election. It is Roberts job to strike down bad law, not mine. And since when does a party to an appeal get to engage in argument on both sides? Day One: No the mandate is not a tax and can be enforced with the Commerce Clause; Day Two: This is really a tax so there’s nothing really Unconstitutional about it. I’d love to see one of my lawyers do this on summary judgment.
If there were flaws in the law, that mandating citizens engage in commerce is Unconstitutional and there is no severability clause, then the law is struck down in it’s entirety and Congress is told to go back to the drawing board. This was a no brainer -- instead, Roberts essentially re-wrote the law and the precedent is now there. If you want to mandate citizen participation in commerce, just call it a tax and there’s nothing they can do.
It also sends a bad message to Obama and the press -- intimidate and threaten and you, too, can influence the third independent branch of government. I try to picture this kind of bullshit being pulled on Berger or Rehnquist. They both would have come out swinging.

There’s actually nothing that unusual about pleading in the alternative—i.e., “we believe that the situation is a, b and c, and that therefore the rule of d and f applies; but, if the Court finds instead that the situation is x, y and z, we believe that the rule of q and r should apply.”
What is unusual is the same judge agreeing with both sides, flipping a coin, and changing sides.

Well, my experience with the actual oral argument at SCOTUS is limited, of course. Having only attended once with a case not affiliated with and desperately trying to stay awake. Not even the Solicitor General in attendance that day with the snappy morning attire.
I think what I found so disingenuous about the tax argument on the part of the S.G. was that they had insisted from jump street that these were not taxes -- no way, no how no no no -- and then when they were being hammered in the briefing decided to use it as a last-ditch argument. Which they still won’t acknowledge. You would think Roberts had upheld the mandate under the Commerce Clause the way they’re spinning this.

Of course that was the plan all along. They simply can’t get the kind of money that they want out of just the “rich”. That money has to come from the middle class. That is the only group with enough resources to produce the kind of money that they want to spend.
@ Rodan:
No, provided the political will was there, you could go into Afstan in force, occupy the country, set up a military government, and start killing islamists. Close all the mosques, and bulldoze them. Likewise all the madrassas. Every imam, every mullah, every mohammed and achmed that professes to speak for islam, into the wood chipper.
And have Christian missionaries go through and convert the people, backed up by force of arms.
Not genocide, because you are merely taking out the command and control apparatus of an evil conspiracy.
Chances of it happening? About zilch. No political will.
